Of course, everyone knows that you can access windows files via ubuntu.

However, how do you access ubuntu files via windows?

Note: I'm using Wubi

Wubi might make it impossible to read your files, however...

Also note that while it says it's an ext2 driver, ext3 is essentially ext2 with journaling support.

What do you mean by that? So even that will not work? :)

You could also try http://www.ubuntugeek.com/tools-to-access-linux-partitions-from-windows.html. I haven't much knowledge about WUBI so I don't know if its going to cause any problems. Best thing to do is just try and see.

Since you're using Wubi, you should familiarize yourself with the Wubi guide. The page below answers your question:

Thanks guys! They all basically solved my question.

One thing though.

Can you give me a tool to convert my Wubi into a standard install?

LVPM doesn't work for Jaunty, (at least on the website)
