    There are a couple of ways round this:

    - You could use a rescue disk to re-install grub, this would be straightforward, and I believe we have instructions to re-install the grub boot loader on the HOWTO's pages of this forum

    - You could log in with a rescue disk and copy the files you want off to another medium, such as a blank CDR/DVDR or to a memory stick.

    - There are ext3 drivers around for Windows. I believe some of those are free, or at least have a trial period, which would provide you with the opportunity to recover your files

    - You could get hold of another Linux machine and put the hard disk drive out of your dual-boot computer into that, it'd be able to read files off the hard disk.
