ISAM tables (.ISD/.ISM) are machine dependent, so you cannot move them directly to Windows and use them there. MyISAM tables (.MYD/.MYI) are machine independent. If your tables were MyISAM tables, you'd be able to do what you want. You can use mysqldump to dump the tables to a text file, then move that file to your Windows box and recreate them there.
