It depends on the file storage system that Ubuntu was installed on. In the least what could be done is accessing the XP side from Ubuntu.

there should be a package for it in the repository

also if you don't mind holding your files in a separate partition you can just have everything in a fat32 partition on the Ubuntu box and share the folder in there, winblows should pick it up in network places

Google is ur friend crixx, otherwise search it in the ubuntu forums, i've had to do it several times with my experiments with Linux. It's pretty easy. Otherwise, see if there isn't a update for it in the synatic package manager.

Flash for firefox in suse is easy if your on 10.3, just go to the suse software site, search for flash and click install :XD, the ubuntu files are there to, that or go to adobe, download and manual install for the newest version.

As far as getting linux to play with windows xp should be easy if your installing on a new drive, just get linux to add a mount point for the ntfs drive, you should be able to save etc from the linux side to windows but not see linux from windows easy. hardy should auto mount the drives for ya to.

http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/

then choose Linux, then deb for Ubuntu 8.04+

They also have an alpha of the 64-bit Flash for Linux. For once Linux is the first to get something in this department as none of the other platforms have a 64-bit version yet.
