2.)Make my linux partition readable by my XP account (maybe samba, if so how exactly?).

Thanks in advance for your help!

(1)Your system will have to be able to talk SMB "Server Message Block". For more information about how to map the network drive take a look at :http://www.stevens.edu/itwiki/cgi-bi...rk_Drive#Linux

(2) You will need samba for this for sure... Take a look at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/SMB-HOWTO-7.html
