you need to mount the dos partitions in linux. you should be able to read/write files on dos partition from linux. If you mounted a floppy drive, you could put the files on a disk from windows and access them from linux.

Pretty much as TMAN said, however, if this is a recent version of Mandrake, you may find the windows partition is already mounted to a subdirectory in the /mnt directory. (Some versions of linux mount those win partitions for you already)
