You need to mount the other system's partition, then you will have access to the files. Here's an example. The other system is on /dev/sda5. To mount /dev/sda5 you first need to create a mount point, mkdir /media/other then mount the partition, mount -t ext3 /dev/sda5 /media/other. Browse to the /media/other folder to access the files.
