My solution was to create a seperate FAT32 partition on the windows HD (using PartitionMagic) but leaving most of the disk as NTFS. This FAT32 partition is easily mountable and can be read and written to by both linux and XP. Anything to be transferred to the other OS has to be copied to this partition, it could alternatively be on the linux HD and you would probably not need PartiionMagic.
