Linux can mount windows partitions on standard mount points although the support will depend on your kernel version and/or what is compiled in. NTFS partitions can be mounted read only, you can also mount them as read write but this is dangerous. For Windows you can use a program called Explore2fs http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/explore2fs.htm which allows you to read Ext2 (and I believe Ext3, since it should be backwards compatible with Ext2) file systems under windows. I hope this helps.
