This is very difficult if the linux partition is not in a format that
Windows can understand.
If linux was installed on a FAT partition you should be seeing it
already.... I remember seeing
an ext2 (or was it ext3) driver for windows, last time I saw it, it was
read-only for safety.


In Linux,... how do I read files on my Windows Partition


Also depends on what part. types you use.  Mount the partition on a
mountpoint,
using the appropriate type (FAT, NTFS, etc), then browse.


I don't ask much!

It doesn't seem like much, but depending on your circumstances, it could be
nigh impossible.  :(
