Checking disk performance on windows
On Linux, I can type "top" and it tells me how much time is being spent waiting for the disk, and "vmstat" shows how many bytes are being read in/out of the disk.
What's the equivalent in Win2003?

the performance mmc which you may found in Administrative tools will be what you are looking. You can use in conjunction with the task manager ( allow you to select columns on which modules you would like to monitor ).

The performance monitor/system monitor, is a utility used to track a range of processes and give a real time graphical display of the results, on a Windows 2003 system. This tool can be found in Start > setting > control panel > administrative tools > performance.
And meantime you can check the current process and the usage by looking into the taskmanager. By this you can get how much CPU usage the specific process is consuming and also various analysis can be done.
right click task bar > choose task manager.Live Your DreamZ

You mean this program, right: http://lina.aaanime.net/~pmak/perf.PNG
I feel stupid for asking, but what do I do with it in order to see the disk usage?

Open task manager and go to view > select colums .. you can add stuff like I/O reads/writes into there.
