You need to have a file sharing medium installed. Like say for example Samba,
here [1] are the instructions for getting this to work

the dual boot is moot. Lets get some useful info:

Do you use DHCP or static IP (have you manually configured addresses)?
Can the XP system ping the Ubuntu system via name and/or IP address?
Can the Ubuntu system ping the XP system via name and/or IP?
Do both systems get internet access ok via the router?

Thanks

Can you help with this problem?
