A friend of mine has installed Ubuntu on his PC alongside Vista. He would like to know how he can get Vista to read and recognize the Ubuntu partition, so he can share and transfer data between the two. Any ideas please.

You can install a filesystem driver, like this one:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsd
It has read/write abilities, but I wouldn't recommend writing to the partition. It screws up permissions really badly.

Vista can't access Ubuntu Partitions
because it doesn't recognize Ect3 Format that Ubuntu uses
you might be able to download a program that can .

This works with my XP machine, but I can't find any info regarding Vista. At least this may be a starting point for you...

It can't. Windows doesn't read ext3 or ext2 file systems.

I honestly don't think this is possible. Windows uses a certain format to read (Fat32) I don't know if i can read other formats?
