Only specify the device or the mount point.  Let it look in fstab to
figure out what to do.

$ mount /Windows

Also, do you want to allow read/write access to the Windows partition?
It's easy to set it read-only, or to set the uid of all files to 0.
Additionally, add the noauto option to keep it from being mounted at boot.
