you need to load the "vfat" module:
modprobe vfat
I was a bit annoyed with Ubuntu, I would expect them to load the "vfat" module

I guess so. You could try VMWare but IIRC it is not free.

Not necessairly. Linux also *can* use XFS, JFFS, ReiserFS, etc. XP
also *can* use FAT32.
By default, most Linux installers are set to ext3, and XP's default is
NTFS, but you can c

Very easy. Just let lilo or grub know about WinXP, and you are good to
go. In your setup, you have to reboot to get to the other OS.
