It's well documented. It has to do with Licensing among other things. You can find and install read only support for NTFS but it's not recommended and is officially advised against as data corruption is a high probability. Best thing to do is either reinstall xp to a fat32 partition, if that can be done. (frankly I don't know, never fooled with xp to amount to anything) or establish a data partition which is fat32 to place shared files on. Or you can trade it for a goat and shoot the goat.
