This is all dependant on the version of file system drivers that are loaded on the specified operating system. Windows and Macs look at files in very different ways. A Mac can read Windows files that are created with the "FAT" file system, but not the "NTFS" file system. And Macintosh "HFS" and "HFS+" file systems are generally not usable via a standard windows installation.
You have a few options that are listed out quite well in "Take Control of Running Windows on a Macintosh" book. In general, the Virtual machines can do this translation, or you can buy third party FS drivers that will allow either Read-Only or full access in one ddirection. In general you are probably safer to use external disk drive formatted in FAT and just copy the files you want. If you have an on-going need to transfer files easily when you are in Windows, then the tools to do this cost less then $100. But for that price you can get a reasonable flash drive too.
