Samba is a good way to go. We use it for that exact reason at my work although there are some permission issues when using some built-in Linux functions. John M

So you should be able to read data from your XP partitions. XP does not recognize anything that did not come from Microsoft. So sorry XP will not write to let alone read from your Linux partitions. So at this time there is no easy way to my knowledge of how to have the computer do what you want. An alternative solution is to have your common data stored on a Samba server. This acts like a Windows Fileserver so that from XP you can read/write to your Linux server. While in Linux you can use samba or NFS to share the files to your linux clients.
