I can't offer a tool other than to suggest a re-install over the top of
XP. However a tip before re-sizing is to make sure that you do a
defrag first. XP likes to leave stuff in the middle of the drive so
you can't go smaller than that. Re-installing GRUB will probably get
you back into Linux. I would check first by trying a "Live CD/DVD" if
you can see your data, now would be a good time to back it up !
