I agree with Ryan, if you want to see an ext2 or ext3 partition on M$, then
you could have a small fat or ntfs with the ext2IFS
http://www.fs-driver.org/ on it.

You would have to install the ext2IFS software on each machine you wanted to
see the partition though.

I do remember way back getting CD's that had M$ and Mac software on them,
you would only see the stuff for the system you were using. But I'm not sure
how they did that.
I think it came with the Jaz or Orb Drives.
