Hi, it is very easy and you do not need wine.

Essentially all you need are ntfs-3g, and to mount it correctly. From your issue it just sounds like you are mounting the wrong partition.

Very much so, Ubuntu has allowed you to browse WinXP formatted drives from the standard install ever since I played with it back in 8.04. You should not need to install anything more than the standard install to do what you want to do.
