I think this depends on the file system windows is using. Last time I
was fiddling in this area there was limited ability to write to windoze
partitions because of the messy way it manages drives. Copying to a ext2
or ext3 should be OK, unless the windoze partitions are under NTFS in
which case you may well need to install a module that can handle the
NTFS, as this isn't usually (or wasn't about a year ago) built into the
kernel.
The advice above correlates pretty well with info I found when googling
on "mounting windows under Linux".
Actually moving the files to a Linux partition may still be not possible
as this could mess up the file table for the windoze installed. I would
do some research through google to check this though as it may be
changed by now.
