Nope, of course. I wonder if one can mount a loopback filesystem readwrite off a readonly partition? There is NTFS support for Linux, but it's readonly for the same reason the DOS support is readonly. Alternatively, as Charles suggested, a CD image; if one assumes people running XP have CD-R/CD-RW drives... The burning support is built in, I think. Again, if you want to test images, it takes me about thirty seconds to try and boot a .iso file. Regards, Ben A L Jemmett.
