The only reliable way to access data on a NTFS partition from Linux is
though a network share. A dual boot system can't do this of course :)
The easiest way would be to create a partition formatted with fat32 to
share between Linux & XP. Both OS's can read/write to fat32.
You may be able to enable ntfs file system support in the kernel and
read the files on XP from Linux. The ntfs support in Linux is rumored to
sort of work for reads and ,if you care about your data, not reccomended
for writes.
