There are utilities that will let you access ext3 file systems from
XP, but for what you are after, you may want to take a look at:

It is a script that lets you do a one-time boot in a different OS,
and then boot the default OS on the next boot. You could use it to
boot into XP, and then boot back into Linux on the reboot.
