Sure, you should be able to mount the WinXP drive from linux. The fact
that you're booting into a different drive shouldn't affect access. Just
try mounting it -- mount -t ntfs /dev/hda /mnt/winxp or whatever the
device node is for the XP drive.

Accessing linux files from XP is trickier. I think there's a way to do
it, but I don't know what it is.
