First of all you need to activate support for vfat and ntfs in the
kernel.
Filesystem -> DOS FAT fs support
MSDOS fs support
VFAT (Windows-94) fs support
NTFS file system support
You can compile as modules or directly in the kernel. If you compile as
modules, insert them with
modprobe msdos
modprobe vfat
modprobe ntfs
and add them to /etc/modules.autoload to automatically load them at
boot.
When your kernel supports these filesystems (maybe it already does) then
you can mount the drives wherever you want with
mount -t msdos|vfat|ntfs -o options /dev/hdxy /some/path/whereveryouwant
x->drive
y->partition
and add corresponding entries to /etc/fstab to automatically mount them
at boot. See man mount(8) and man fstab(5) for detailed informations.
