There is a program smbmount a part of samba that can do this.
Here is a script I use here.

#!/bin/sh
#
if [ -z $1 ]; then
echo " "
echo "type something like:-"
echo " "
echo "mountsmb work/cdrom /cdrom"
echo " "
echo " work is the machine name and /cdrom the mount point"
echo " "
exit
fi
#
mount -t smbfs //$1 $2 -o guest
#

work is the name of my win98 pc and cdrom the share name of the cdrom!. You need to set up file sharing in windows.
You need the file system sbmfs enabled in your kernel.

Hope this gets you started

But that is only if you want to connect to a Windows machine on your network. If you want to mount file locally on your harddisk, then you need to look at your fstab file.

Basically, the command mount will let you mount any medium on any directory that already exists. /mnt/windowsc is a good place. You will first need to know where your windows C 'drive' is (the partition number). Type this fdisk -l. This will list your partitions and their types. Find the first partition that is fat32 (or vfat) and type this mount /dev/hd?? /mnt/windowsc -t vfat. The /dev/hd?? bit is what you got from doing the fdisk bit.

The file /etc/fstab allows you to mount partitions/networks/devices with a lot more ease. You should go man mount and man fstab for more info.
