Hi!

As the topic says; is it possible to install a program (in this case, World of Warcraft) on a NTFS formatted partition?
Otherwise, can i make my OSX system partition larger?
My hdd looks like this;

OSX (HFS+): 20gb
WindowsXP (NTFS): 35gb
Data/music (NTFS) : 105gb

Thanks in advance!

Install one of those third party NTFS enablers for OSX. It should work, IMO.

Yes. I believe Paragon is another option. Sorry, I haven't tried them but if you search this forum you will find some reviews.

Good luck!

Should work without problems, unless it needs special permissions.
