  • Best not to access Windows system partition. But create a shared NTFS data partition as d: in Windows and /mnt/data or /media/$USER/shared for any of the default folders of data you may want in both systems. http://askubuntu.com/questions/223655/windows-ubuntu-dual-boot-share-files-between-os/223670#223670 – oldfred Jan 23 '15 at 22:47

Yes you can, actually I am doing this too.

From Ubuntu, this is a piece of cake, as it works out of the box, you just have to mount the drive, and that's it.

Under Windows it is a bit trickier, as Windows cannot read EXT2/3/4 drives by default. However you can install EXT2FSD, which provides a solution for this problem. It provides read and write support too, but just be safe, I recommend to use it for reading only.
