The way used to I do this was relatively simple... My Linux partitions are
Reiser, my XP partition was NTFS.  Linux can read NTFS with no problems...
so on the rare occasion I needed to snag a file from the XP partition, I
can.  On the other hand if I happened to be booted to Windows (err..
something I haven't done in ages) I had a small util installed there that
could read Reiser partitions... so I could copy from the Linux partitions to
the NTFS partitions.

OK, it's one way.. copying from the foreign fs to the local... but it
works.. and no risk of corrupting the foreign fs because you're accessing in
ro mode.
