As long as you didn't format the Windows partition with NTFS, then yes, you should be able to simply drag it over. Unfortunately, you can't do the same the other way around, at least not without special software.

as long as the file types are compatible, you can. jpegs, avi, pdf, etc.. Before I put Parallels on, I could still drag them back and forth.

Parallels is different from Boot Camp. In Boot Camp, Windows simply does not recognize the OS X partition, so you can't really copy anything over if there's no place to copy things TO. OS X, on the other hand, DOES recognize the Windows partition, and thus, you can easily drag things over.

i'm pretty sure i partitioned my mac and windows a NTFS is there any way to move the files over to the windows side without some external drive?

To write to an NTFS partition you'll need something like Paragon NTFS or MacFUSE and NTFS-3G.

A quick google on those will get you going.
