You will need to have NTFS support compiled into the kernel (if it isn't
already). You will then have read ability for NTFS. Writing to NTFS is still
considered risky. If you need to swap data between FC and XP, a safer method
is to make a VFAT partition for that purpose. Both OS's can then read/write
to that partition safely.
