I am guessing this has to do with me frequently using my XP partition when I am using Xubuntu..

I have tried setting accesses through the security tab. I have also tried typing all those "attrib" commands in prompt. I'm not quit sure how to take my drive off the 'read only' state.

Have you tried booting Xubuntu and resting the permissions with chmod. Since Ubuntu doesn't allow /root access you will have to run as sudo to set new permissions.

Here is a tutorial for chmod.
