Hi,
The listing is simple if you have fdisk...
# fdisk -l
That should bring up a list of all partitions including your windows partitions. To the wery right of the list there should be a column with filesystem-type.

If you want to mount the filesystem at boot-time you will have to edit your /etc/fstab file.
You do this by adding a line containing following information in order:
<filesystem> <mount-point> <fs-type> <options> <dump> <fsck-order>
For example:

/dev/hda2 /home ext2 defaults 1 1
