what i know may be already old, but when XP came out, we couldn't mount it's ntfs partitions because it's slightly different from the prior versions and it doesn't work. if you want to mount ntfs in linux, you don't have to let XP installer make it's own ntfs. make one yourself with partition magic, or diskdrake, or whatever.... and then put XP on it again, this may already be solved. i honestly dunno.
