You'll want to use ntfs-3g. Note that it's still "experimental" but pretty stable. I've had no problems, large writes are a bit slow though.<BR>
<BR>
To install:<BR>
aptitude install ntfs-3g<BR>
<BR>
then change your mount command to:<BR>
<FONT COLOR="#000000">mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/winxp -t ntfs</FONT>-3g<BR>
<BR>
Or add it to your /etc/fstab file to mount on boot with the line below:<BR>
<BR>
<FONT COLOR="#000000">/dev/hda1 /mnt/winxp ntfs</FONT>-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0<BR>
<BR>
