There is a windows file system driver for ext2/ext3 filesystems. But the 
easiest way would be to format the partition to NTFS. The ntfs-3g driver 
in Linux works very good. Don't forget to always "savely remove the 
external drive from windows and linux" (proper unmounting). Otherwise 
the filesystem gets corrupted and ubuntu won't mount it.
