The question is:

So has anybody here any experience of re-sizing partitions in XP and does it require re-activation after doing so, because if it does I'll just stick with a virtual machine.

No it wont need re-activation, also you are allowed 2 activation's before M$ ask any questions so I wouldnt be worrying. Short answer to your question is NO.
