Ubuntu is most likely using ext3 or ext4 filesystem format. Windows can not recognize this format and will not interact will drives/partitions using ext* filesystem.

To access your files between both systems, you can create and additional fat32 partition on the drive and have it automatically mount in both OSes. AFAIK fat32 is the best filesystem format for interoperability between Linux and Windows.
