Are you sure that XP is fat32 most likely its ntfs? fedora can't read NTFS.

Fedora 7 will read and write NTFS as installed 'out of the box'. You need to create a mount point,
mkdir /media/windows
and mount the partition
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/windows
then all you need to do is to go look at your windows files in the folder /media/windows.
If you want to mount the partition at boot, automatically, edit the file /etc/fstab. Add a line at the bottom of the file like this:
/dev/sdb1 /media/windows ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
If the partition is FAT32 substitute 'vfat' for ntfs-3g
