I realize I have to reinstall it.

Here's the rub: I can't find my XP cd. :|

Knowing this, my current bootcamp partition is only 20 gigs. Could I somehow copy this entire partition, bit for bit, onto an external firewire drive, then go back into OSX, delete the whole partition, and repartition using bootcamp to make it bigger, then copy everything back from the external drive?

Would that work? What programs would I need? I remember something about 'ghosting' a drive, back in the day. What do I need to know?

Your idea has merit, but it would depend on what you used to image your current partition. Some utilities will not allow you to change partition size when restoring an image. Others-my favorite, DriveImage included-give you that as an explicit option. I don't have any experience with restoring Disk Utility images or backups, so I'm not sure about how it works with that.
