I do not think any one has really approached the question.

I am not sure if this will work in 5.1, give it a try.
if you are logged in as root
 use
mount /dev/sda1 /media/c
if the drive is ntfs partition use:
mount /dev/sda1 -t nfts /media/c
its just an example

and how to find  which drive is to mount is the next question ,in the
above specified case the drive is /dev/sda1, lets see how to find it
fdisk -l you will get some thing like this
   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *           1           2550    20482843+   7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2            2551        9728    57657285    f   W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda5            2551        5100    20482843+   b  W95 FAT32
/dev/sda6            5101        5776     5429938+   b   W95 FAT32
/dev/sda7            7651        9728    16691503+   7   HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda8            5777        7532    14105038+  83  Linux
/dev/sda9            7533        7650      947803+  82  Linux swap / Solaris

as u can see /dev/sda1, sda5,sda6,sda7 are windows partitions

/dev/sda1 is ntfs so i use -t option while mounting.
also search for /etc/fstab so that you can automount your drives.



to find more about mount, google:)
