Hallo Alan, thank you for answering.

a) FAT32
b) hm, don't know, I mounted it in fstab as FAT32#
in fstab there is:
c)/dev/hda1       /winxp          auto        rw,user,auto    0       

One problem is still, and is a little OT perhaps here, but
nevertheless,:

If I copy files with german umlauts (äöü and strong 's' ß), these
filenames are not copied properly, and that characters are replaces
by little square symbols.

Is there anythin to set up on ubuntu to copy this properly.
I have only installed the english language, maybe that is the problem.
