Note that this part is legally a bit of a gray area, as you're copying files Microsoft has licensed for use in Windows off of your Windows install. However, if you have a legitimate copy of Windows for the computer you're also running Linux on, you're probably within your rights to copy those files to the Linux partition. Copying from one computer onto another which you don't have a Windows license for is likely not allowed under the license.
