Both of these points are true only if the XP and Deb are multiboot on
the same machine. (What I do in that case is run NTFS on my system
partition, and keep a spare decent-sized vfat partition for sharing
files between Debian and Windows.) You also overlooked that if you are
running e2fs on Debian there are shareware utilities in Windows to read
that and copy it; I use Reiserfs.
But the way I interpret the OP is that the two machines are on differnet
boxes, in which case you should install Samba on the debian box, or use
ssh to copy stuff.
