Simply mount the windows partition.
mount -tvfat /dev/hdaX /mnt
Other -t options
msdos
fat
substitute /dev/hdaX for your dos partition number.
After mounting cd /mnt
ls -al
Should show the files.
You can simplifie the mount command by putting a line in /etc/fstab
/dev/hda1 /dosc msdos noauto 1 1
Subsitute msdos for whichever filesystem is nessacary, for windows thats
possably vfat.
With the above example one coud do.
mount /dosc
You must create /dosc beforehand of course.
