Sorry, the -t vfat is correct contrary to my prior posting (getting too used
to mounting network shares)

Mount your windows partition and it will be accessible. Most folks would 
probably recommend creating a directory under /mnt, like /mnt/windows. 
Then, assuming your windows partition is /dev/hda1 the command would be: 
(as root)

mount /dev/hda1 -t vfat /mnt/windows

Try it that way first, and if it works you can edit /etc/fstab to make it 
permanent.

Hope that helped.
