Thank you...
Now I feel like I should have known to look there 1st. Duh.
Hopefully I won't be a newbie too long...

You might already have heard of fdisk. It is a tool to partition your hard
disks and also in fact the easiest way to see what partition is of what
type and has what number/name.
To call fdisk for your primary IDE slave call "fdisk /dev/hda" and you
will get something like this:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 9688 4882720+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 * 9689 48440 19531008 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda3 48441 158816 55629504 83 Linux
(For example for your second SCSI disk it would be "fdisk /dev/sdb")
Here you can see that my windows partition is /dev/hda2 is of type NTFS.
To mount it you'll need an empty directory (e.g. /windows or /mnt/win) and
the necessary file system support for you kernel (in my case NTFS).
Then "mount <device> <mount directory>". In my case this looks like:
"mount /dev/hda2 /windows"
Have fun,
