I don't think it's gonna be as easy as you want it to be.
The only problem is that you have to make your disk mountable both under Linux and Windows. If you succeed with this, there's no problem at all to use MySQL data across those plattforms. MySQL's MyISAM tables are platform independent, and so are MERGE and HEAP. I'm not sure about BDB and InnoDB, but I guess they are platform independent, too.
