i`ve not tried that,i did try parrallel but when playing games the mouse is slow,i might reformat the drive and reinstall the operating system and try again.

thank you.
make sure you install the parallels tools if you didn't already. I don't think gaming is optimized for parallels however.
if you have an external drive, use either Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper to clone your system to it. Verify it boots ok by booting holding alt and choosing the external. Do a simple format of your internal and then boot up from the external and clone back. Then do the partitioning.
You should do a system clone/backup before any of these things.

reformat will probably work for bootcamp.
