Could you please write down exactly (used menu options) how do you 
hibernate XP? If it's really hibernated then the message should be:

  "The NTFS partition is hibernated. Please resume and shutdown Windows
   properly, so mounting could be done safely."

You should get the below message only if Windows shutdown was unclean.

It's possible to access such partitions in read-only mode, using the 'ro' 
mount option. Only the read-write access is denied, prior to version
1.411-RC.

Click the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon in the Windows taskbar then the 
disk can be cleanly detached and mounted on Linux.
