There is a program from DiskInternals called Linux Reader, you cal download it here; http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/

As far as I know it works only on Win XP and is unable to handle large files (copies 300 MB then quits)

If you need to copy files to XP (ntfs), the easiest thing is to do so from within Linux. Just install ntfs-3g and your ntfs partition(s) become(s) writable. Following the same procedure, you can copy/move files from XP to Linux. But all the copying/moving would have to be done from within Linux. Yes, there are now a number of applications that will make Linux partitions accessible from XP but I have to say that they are far from stable and I wouldn't trust them with any data cared to keep.
