I think you should use 'mount',
i.e.
let's say that your win partition is on /hda1, you should give (as root):
# mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows
and then
$ cd /mnt/windows
to access to the win filesystem.
Be sure that an empty directory /mnt/windows exist in your filesystem (do create it otherwise)
type "man mount" in a terminal for details.

do I have to do this everytime after boot, or is it a one and only configuration? If so, how can I make it mount win partitions automatic at boot?
Thanks!!!

No, this is not a permanent modification. In order to have win partition mounted at every login, you should edit your fstab file.
Take a look at the bottom of the page
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/l...a-windows.html
it's from RH docs, but it's good for all linux distro, of course.
Hope it helps!
Greetings,
Marco

To mount on boot, add lines to /etc/fstab for each win drive letter:
/dev/hda1 /mnt/win/C vfat default 1 0
/dev/hdc1 /mnt/win/D vfat default 1 0
Note: make columns match existing /etc/fstab format.

Here's a useful line for mounting a FAT32 filesystem automatically on boot up - put it on a new line at the bottom of /etc/fstab
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat umask=000,defaults 0 0
just substutute in you partition name and mount point name.
(make sure you create your mount point first with
mkdir /mnt/windows
)

what if it is ntfs file system
Can you also mount a ntfs file system the same way? I'm using version 2.81 I think it has ntfs support but not sure.
Thanks
