First, make sure that the Windows partition is listed in /etc/fstab. I
believe Mandrake does this by default.
Second, in KDE, right-click on the desktop. Select New->Filesystem
Device. Give it a name (keep the .kdelnk part at the end) that will
show up on the desktop. Click OK.
Third, right-click on the icon that is created, select Properties.
Select the Device tab. Into the top entry box, enter the partition name
of the Windows partition (/dev/hda1, for example). You may want to
change the icons (at the bottom) since the default ones are pretty
meaningless.
Finally, double-click on the desktop icon and it should auto-magically
mount the partition and open a file manager window for you. To unmount
the partition, simply right-click on the icon and select Unmount.
That's it!
