Mandiva Mount Viewing Problems...
I have a problem viewing my files on the windows partitions on my second drive in the machine... In /mnt/ all the drives show up there, but I can only see files on win_c, which is on the same hard-drive as mandriva.. But my other three partitions are on another hard-drive intalled on the same computer:
/mnt/win_c2
win_d
win_e
These I cannot see the files on... Any one got some ideas?

You might need to mount them before you can see the files on them. Go to Konqueror, then navigate to them and click on them. If this doesn't mount them, try right clicking them to see if a "mount" option exists.
It's been a while since I've run Mandriva, so I'm trying to pull all this from memory. Hope it's all correct...

You could mount manually like Ozar said. From Konsole:
Check your /etc/fstab for the corresponding devices.Code:mount /dev/<partition device> /mnt/<folder you want to mount to like win_d>

Ok... I think I did what you guys were requesting... No luck... Here's what my fstab file config looks like....
# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details
/dev/hda5 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom iso9660 user,iocharset=iso8859-1,noauto,ro,exec 0 0
none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c vfat umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0
/dev/<partition device> /mnt/win_c2 ( It don't work with or without this line )
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0
Here is a link to what my /mnt folder looks like...

It doesn't appear as if your second hard drive's partitions are registered in your fstab. Do you happen to know the device of your second hard drive (something like /dev/hdb perhaps)?
