The url http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/info/#3.6 explains getting various Linux distros to work with NTFS. XP is mentioned but I have not tried it myself (I use 2000 an NT4 and can mount NTFS partitions) . Also I agree with both prodikal and detox, Turn off unused services and play around with ipchains and your firewall settings.
