Mac freeware live partitioner?

I need a partitioner that can partition my macs hard drive non destructively and is free... Bootcamp won't let me delete the windows partition and I need to.

download an ubuntu live CD. it comes with Gparted partitioner tool, so you can just boot directly to the CD and start partitioning

Just download gParted live CD, which does the same thing but doesn't take forever to install and isn't an ego-sink.

I tried to, but I only saw a i386 version of gparted... My mac is intel core 2 duo processors.

I partitioned my core2 duo inspiron 1420 using an ubuntu live cd which had gparted, i don't see why it would be a problem on your mac.

Well you're using the ubuntu version. Which I will probably use if I can't find the just gparted version.
