How to change mysql database directory on WAMP

I'm running a dual boot server with Windows 7 and Ubuntu. On Ubuntu, everything is configured how I want it. On Windows, I need to know how to change my MySQL database directory so that it uses the same directory I'm using on Ubuntu. How do I do this?
