Thats because Windows doesn't support HFS+ Filesystem.

You can:

1. Wait for SnowLeopard, which should deliver a HFS+ driver with the new BootCamp

2. User MacDrive (50$) http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive/

3. Use HFS Explorer (Free) http://hem.bredband.net/catacombae/hfsx.html

EDIT: If you want to use your HDD on other Windows machines too, i suggest you format the HDD either MS-DOS (FAT), or NTFS.

(You have to download and install NTFS-3G for Mac to get NTFS support) http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/
