Hey Adam:
I had to wrestle with this one too. What works for me is really simple.
First you have to make sure you have a place to mount the win drive(s).
For instance, you may have a dir in /mnt called /mnt/hda1 to mount C: or
you may not. Check to see. What I did, since I am so lazy, is create new
dirs for the mount points. I used /d1 for C:, /d2 for E: and /d3 for f:.
Then I edited /etc/fstab and added these lines:
/dev/hda1 /d1 vfat defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb1 /d2 vfat defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5 /d3 vfat defaults 0 0
and then rebooted. From then on, the drives C:, D:, and E: are
automatically mounted at boot. If you don't want your drives
automounted, just enter the same info in the mount command, but you
still have to mount point.
All this is explained in the mount and fstab manpages.
Good luck!
