From 'man mount_ntfs':

Warning: do not mount NTFS filesystems read-write.  The write support is
not very useful and is not tested well.  It's not safe to write to any
file on NTFS; you might damage the filesystem.  Unless you want to debug
NTFS filesystem code, mount the NTFS filesystem read-only.

I mount some nfs shares off my xp box here and copy files to
it without mishap. However, that's just me, I've read the
other replies to your message  you might want to heed the
warnings. Actually, it's probably a lot safer to just scp the
files there. I do that too on a regular basis,  do rsync backups
to the external storage on the xp box nightly using rsa public
keys so it can be done unattended, i.e., passwordless. I have 
cygwin  m$ tools for unix admin installed on the xp box with

sshd running. There may be a simpler way to do that, but I don't
know. I did like that in the beginning when I was first learning
about intercommunication between the 2 operating systems, it
worked,  I left it alone. ;)
