if your windows partition uses ntfs, you'll have to recompile your kernel and install a driver. once you've done that:

Code:

mkdir /mnt/windows
mount -t ntfs /dev/hda2 /mnt/windows

replacing /dev/hda2 with the windows drive/partition

or if you use any sort of fat partition, you're set from the get-go:

Code:

mkdir /mnt/windows
mount -t vfat dev/hda2 /mnt/windows

replacing /dev/hda2 with the windows drive/partition

As far as I knew, mandrake stock kernels (default) have the NTFS driver compiled in, you'll only need to specify that it's the ntfs filesystem.
