The BS-Ware CDs provide wget in rescue mode, so one simply starts a
network interface (which is dialog drivern) and then fall out to a
command line.

Switch to /tmp
wget ntfsresize from a local webserver
chmod 700 ntfsresize
./ntfsresize {blah blah}

Of course if OEM's provide usable WinXPeee install media you could just
repartition the whole drive and install XP into a partition, but NO!!!
