Can you post the output from

diskutil list

Also, is there a reason you have "rw" in your fstab options? Does this mean you have NTFS-3G installed? If so, you need to make the filesystem type in fstab "ntfs-3g" and not simply "ntfs".

Also make sure you have an empty line at the end of fstab.

Try setting the drive to read only as it's ntfs. Also i've removed the zeros as they're not meant to be there, oops (i've updated the first post) :o:

Code:
LABEL=WinXp none ntfs ro,noauto
[Edit] Follow dies instructions if you've got ntfs-3g installed, but still remove the zeros

diskutil list

/dev/disk0
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: FDisk_partition_scheme *74.5 Gi disk0
1: Apple_HFS Mac HD 74.5 Gi disk0s1
/dev/disk1
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: FDisk_partition_scheme *149.0 Gi disk1
1: DOS_FAT_32 WinXp 47.8 Gi disk1s1
2: Apple_HFS Storage 101.2 Gi disk1s5

i forgot to mention that i have NTFS-3G installed.Let me try "ntfs-3g" option

why WinXp is marked as DOS_FAT_32 partition ? it is a NTFS type
