Can I nondestructively resize partitions of boot disc?

I have a Boot Camp partitioned MacBookPro/WinXP machine. 60GB Mac & 20GB XP. Never anticipated doing as much XP crunching on this machine as has turned out, and I'm running out of space with the 20 GB partition.

Do I have to dump everything and start over, or can I use partitioning soft to resize the partitions, or some other trick less laborious than reinstalling OS's, browsing, mail, virus, networking, preferences, a/v apps, etc...?? "Could Partition Magic" do it?

Another route. If I got an external drive - how would it be treated by the current configuration? Am I forced to assign it to one OS of the other?

Thanks so much.

Course, I've since discovered that MacIntel uses GPT partitioning, and so Partition Magic or most conventional software wouldn't work.
