Yes, resizing works fine with XP SP2 too. But use SystemRescueCD, not Knoppix.
Knoppix has a VERY OLD resizer (basically two years old), with severe limitations.
Knoppix doesn't corrupt data but its functionality is very limited compared
to the newer versions, see
http://mlf.linux.rulez.org/mlf/ezaz/ntfsresize.html#fragmented.
So the steps,
1. Take the backup of your absolute necessary files (just in case 1%).
2. Create a SystemRescueCD bootable LiveCD.
[ ... steps here aren't needed at all ... ]
7. Boot into SystemRescueCD using the liveCD.
8. Type run_qtparted from the command line.
9. Select the HD (/dev/hda).
10. Select /dev/hda1 (or partition 1).
11. Select Tools->Resize (or Option ->resize)
12. It will ask you the Value to resize... give whatever value you are
comfortable with...
13. it will resize.. (and don't panic if the progress bar wouldn't move, it's
a known screen refresh problem of some videocard) Shutdown and reboot in Wndows
just to make sure that your parition is correct.
