First, find out where partition your windows is located, and the filesystem type. Running the following (as root) should tell you

Code:

fdisk -l /dev/hd*

Next, add an entry to your /etc/fstab file, such as

Code:

/dev/hda2   /windows   ntfs   ro,noauto,user,umask=0022    0    0

- replacing /dev/hda2 with the correct partition, and ntfs with vfat if appropriate. Finally, create a mount point for the entry corresponding to that in /etc/fstab, such as (as root)

Code:

mkdir /windows

You should now be able to simply run mount /windows to mount the partition, and then access it as you would any other directory (including creating links to it on the desktop etc.).

Cheers,
