I thought WinXP Professional required an NTFS filesystem. If I'd have known I could've used a FAT32 I probably would've.

Aexoden: I think I saw that project too. I think that's more for enabling write-access to NTFS systems, which as of now doesn't work, I think. (Everywhere I see to download write-access support, there're all sorts of warnings like "This is dangerous! Don't use it! I'm serious! It'll destroy you!" Things like that.) I thought they already had the read-only part down pretty good. Read-only NTFS support came with my RedHat distribution, but I know I have to recompile the kernel to enable it.

Ah well. Trial-and-error is probably the best way to figure it out. 90% of computer knowledge is gained by screwing stuff up a couple times and figuring out what you did, it seems.
