of cource you can.
all you need is to mount your windows partitions.
for this NTFS file system you nees ntfs -3g
and for FAT you need vfat.
to find type of partitions execute

fdisk -l

post the output so that i can help you more precisely.

"fdisk -l " displays all partitions.

"fdisk -l " displays all partitions.

yes it displays and that is what is required to get the type of file system in windows part.
well do this

cd /media
mkdir sda1

i m not sure sda1 is your windows part or not caz you didn't let me now.
you should create a directory for all you part you want to access in linux. i give you just an example.
now all you need is to edit your /etc/fstab file as root.

vi /etc/fstab

add lines like this

/dev/sda1  /media/sda1  ntfs-3g  defaults,umask=0 0 0

definetly i used ntfs-3g assuming your part is NTFS.
reboot the system. now you should access drive under /media/
