Well the above answer is not entirely correct…
There are programs that will allows windows to see the drives.
It depends on the filesystem of the drive.
ext2 and ext3
drives can be seen by windows if you use

reiserfs
I do not think there is a way to mount it, but you can still view the files on it using http://yareg.akucom.de/ and its dependencies (look on the site).
For any other filesystems, just search yahoo.. Im pretty sure that you can find something that allows you to have some sort of access to the files on your laptop hd.
