In Windows XP you can map a skydrive by following these steps.
1) Get your skydrive 16 digit skydrive "cid".
Using your web browser login to your skydrive account. When you're logged in, right click the skydrive logo in the top left and select "copy link address". You'll get a URL that looks like this:
https://skydrive.live.com/#cid=0123456789ABCDEF (where 0123456789ABCDEF is your cid)
copy the cid somewhere. You'll need it in a minute.
2) Add a Network Place in Windows XP.
Open File Explorer and select Tools / Map Network Drive. In the bottom of the Network Drive dialogue click "Sign up for online storage or connect to a network server". This will bring you to the Add Network Place Wizard. Click Next. Select "Choose another network location". In the Internet or network address box put in the following URL:
https://d.docs.live.net/0123456789ABCDEF (where 0123456789ABCDEF is your cid)
Click Next. Type a name. I made mine "Document @ Skydrive".
You might / should be prompted with a login at some point.
Good luck!
