Linux can see windows partitions and files (and even read/write there) but NOT in opposite direction. You should just mount the corresponding partition from within a LINIX session (as a root). If mount, etc. sounds greek for you then you should better to consult e.g. http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/Linux+Windows-HOWTO
