You really do not want to make the boot drive for the Windows XP system 
writable anyway, as any changes you do to that drive from within Ubuntu 
will cause XP's System Restore to malfunction, as it will detect that 
you have changed the drive from the way it was the last time System 
Restore was monitoring the drive, and it will refuse to restore any 
previous restore points after that.
