You need to see which partition xp is on. Let's guess that it is on the second (slave) IDE channel and xp is on the third partition. Also, let's assume that you want to mount it at the /mnt/c folder. Then the command:
#mount -t vfat /dev/hdb3 /mnt/c will do it. Notice: The "#" sign because this has to be done as root. -t vfat tells linux that is is a windows partition. (If the xp partition is listed in /etc/fstab then you don't need this) /dev/hdb the "b" for the second (slave) IDE channel /dev/hdb3 the "3" for the third partuition /mnt/c where the file system will be mounted. I don't use xp, so I'm guessing the vfat is the correct type for xp. If the mount fails, then look at "man mount" to see the supported file system types.
