Question mounting fedora partition (/) from windows


I was wondering if you could help
me mount a linux partition from windows xp home. I don't want the /boot I want the files that are in /root or just /. It shows up as lvm2 format in paragon partition manager. In windows disk management, it shows up as 8.69GB unformatted. I looked at fdisk -l in fedora and think that this is hda3. How could you access files from fedora if it was unformatted? The /boot partition is mounted as drive e:. That does not give me access to my files that can be accessed from within fedora 6. Could someone give me the name of a program that can do this, or tell me some other way to do this. Why will it not show up?

Windows doesn't support non-Microsoft file systems (shocking, I know). There's a driver available for ext2/3 support though. See here:
