Hi kantor! Welcome to linuxforums

Before we need to proceed we need to know what is the format of your windows partitions (FAT or NTFS)? To know this become root and execute this command on a terminal

# fdisk -l

It shall list some output and from that you can find out whether your partitions are FAT or NTFS.

Once you know your windows partitions add an entries in your /etc/fstab
the fstab file looks like:
devices dir type_of_the_partition
/dev/{name_of_the_partition} /mnt/{...} {vfat,ntfs} defaults 0 0
and be sure that the directory is there if not just go into and do mkdir {...}.
but be careful if you have a ntfs file system in your Windows partitions and you want to set a write right so you should use ntfs-3g instead of ntfs,and in this forum there is a lot of explanation about that like what Casper says.

hope this help
