Linux has very limited ntfs write capability that may be compiled into your
kernel.  If you have the ntfs-3g driver installed, then you've got full
write access to ntfs.

Try mounting your xp partition like this:
$ ntfs-3g  /dev/hd(whatever-it-is)  /mnt/winxp

... or modify /etc/fstab:

/dev/hdXY   /mnt/winxp   ntfs-3g   ... etc ...

Either way will provide write access.
