Short answer: no
Long answer: While Windows does not directly understand Linux LVM, there are
ways to hide LVM from Windows via another software layer, for e.g. a
virtual machine or a driver. So depending on what exactly you mean by "Windows
box", you could be able to read the LV. But a bare metal unmodified install of
Windows can not read the LV.
