Can you resize the windows XP partition in boot camp

Yes, you can. Here's how:

First, you need third party software to copy your Boot Camp partition to an image file = "WinClone". Read and download from here:

Next, use the Boot Camp assistant from OS X to remove the Boot Camp partition. Re-create it with your new specified size. Use WinClone to restore your original Boot Camp installation.

NOTE: You can not resize a FAT-32 partition to make it smaller. And, resizing FAT-32 is not really safe. Make sure your partition is formatted to NTFS. You can use the Windows disk administrator tool to change your drive from FAT-32 to NTFS if necessary.

Regards.
