Take a look at the `mount` and `cp` commands. If you have a GUI desktop you may be able to simply mount them by simply double clicking on the windows partition (possibly showed on the desktop) and supplying the root password.

Alternatively you could just boot into windows and put the files on a flash drive and then boot back into Debian.

Yeah with the gui most of the steps to setting up a server are easier... Thats why I run my server with the gui enabled. I would love to be able to cut down on the size of the vm by eliminating it, but it just doesn't seem worth it.

Once you get comfortable with the command-line, it's very powerful and even sometimes fun.

That said, for a simple EQEmu setup I don't think a desktop GUI will affect performance all that much.
Either way you have access to the command-line (through a terminal emulator) which can be very helpful.
