Is it possible to set Folder permissions in XP using the ubuntu Live CD so that I can access the XP from a different drive using another HDD with XP on it that I have access to. That...

Or does Ubuntu have a backup utility that I can backup my XP media rather than copying individual folders one by one?

XP doesn't use unix like permissions, just use sudo to run file operations on an NTFS partition. You can use:

gksu nautilus

To run multiple file operations. Gksu runs nautilus as root, so youshould be able to do anything you need.
