Yes, samba. If it's win 9x/me, I recommend the "plain text tutorial" at www.linuxjunior.org (http://www.linuxjunior.org) ;) . Editing this, I may have just told you something stupid. Samba doesn't apply if windows and linux are on the same box, unless you have something like vmware.

I believe what you're looking for is Explore2fs (http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/explore2fs.htm) a small program for Win9x/NT/2000 that allows you to browse the contents of ext2 (Linux native) filesystems. If your Linux partitions are ReiserFS, XFS or another type of journaling filesystem you may be out of luck with this one and have no choice but using a program like VMWare, but if your Linux partitions are ext2 this should be what you want.
