my daughter had a similar problem, wanted to use ubuntu, but has things 
to do in windows with the same files, so before install of hoary, while 
partitioning, I made a vfat partition on the second drive, which is 
otherwise all ext3.  (More or less where you are ATM)

the vfat partition (/dev/hdd9) is mounted (as /dos) on startup by 
/etc/fstab; permissions are defined by 'umask=0000' which I believe is 
rwxrwxrwx.

I have included /etc/fstab of her box so you can see what was done in 
this instance.

winxp can of course see the partition and calls it  D:\

hope this helps
