If you only want to get one or two files from one OS to the other, why not
just email it as an attachment to yourself? Could save you a lot of messing
around, but if this needs to be a regular thing, look in the HOWTO's for

remember the name just now, and I'm not in my Linux OS to go look.
Sorry I couldn't be more help,
Ernie
