Your problem stems from the fact that Windows does not know how to read 
Linux drives, so it can't "see" it. To fix that get the driver called 
ext2  which is a driver file that allows Windows to read and write, to 
and from the Ubuntu partitions.

Keep in mind that it's still a little buggy, so sometimes it just will 
not work. At other times it works great with no problems whatsoever, it 
just depends on this boot up. Once in a while when you boot up, Windows 
will be unable to see the Ubuntu partition for that boot up, unless they 
have released a newer fixed version of the driver.

Note that even 'though their web pages only mention ext2 file systems, 
this driver works with ext3 file systems as well, I know as that's what 
I use it to access Ubuntu on my system from Windows XP.
