My Linux PC mounts the Windows partition automatically at boot time.
Here's what I have in my /etc/fstab file:

/dev/hda1   /win95    vfat noexec,uid=500,rw,mask=000   0 0

What this means is that my Windows partition is on /dev/hda1. I mount it
on the directory /win95 in my Linux filesystem. The filesystem type is
vfat. And I exercise options noexec (do not allow execution of any
binaries on this filesystem), uid=500 (all files in this partition will
appear to be owned by uid 500 (that's me) as seen from Linux), rw (the
filesystem is to be mounted read-write) and file creation mask 000
(user, group and owner all have rwx permission on all files in this
filesystem). The 0 0 at the end are to tell fsck not to check this
filesystem when booting after a crash.
