I think Michael has a logical volume in the volume group, and that logical volume is VFAT. Michael: if you want Windows to see that logical volume, I don't think this is possible. If I were setting up a dual-boot system where I needed to share information, I'd set it up with partitions like so: 1: /boot (ext3; 100MB) 2: C: (FAT; for Windows) 3: D: (FAT; for shared space) 4: volume group (for Linux installation) Also, be aware that Windows will see the Linux volume group as a drive that it thinks it can do stuff with, so you might want to install Microsoft PowerToys to hide the volume group from Windows Explorer, so that you (or someone else) doesn't accidentally format the volume group or do something else with it in Windows.
