Why convert it? you can mount them as vfat, can't you? 

something like this in your fstab should do it, modified to suit what
you have of course:

/dev/hdx[1-3] /mnt/windata[1-3] vfat noauto,users,nohide   0 0

then you can access them with a simple 

mount /mnt/windata[1-3]

and peruse to your hearts content. I'm not sure what the advantage or
reisersfs would be if you aren't going to be using them. (Actually, I
can't imagine enough data that would fill a cd, much less a harddrive,
that I needed from windows when I switched to linux, but that is me.)
