Well, I'd have recommended that you take an old PC and put Ubuntu on it.
Wubi just adds another layer, and sometimes layers are not as 
transparent as one would like.

OK, this is wubi hiding stuff a bit.

This is the important one. You really should rename it without the 
space, just to make life easier. I'd rename it something like "songs" or 
"tunes"

Right, so that is the good part.

So you need to mount it.
I expect that something is automatically mounting it for you when you 
drive to it with the Places 'explorer" application

You need to create a 'mount point' for the disk, its using /media for 
you, which is OK, but I like unique mount points for the device and the 
logical directory.

But it may be ephemeral within Wubi, so you may have to wander over to 
the ubuntu/wubi support forums for details.

Before you do that, open a shell, and then fire up the
places -> computer
application and explore the /dev/sdb1 device, then switch to the shell 
and do the
cat /etc/fstab
I would expect to see something like
/dev/sdb1 /media/local disk .... stuff....

all you have to do is get the mount to happen automatically when wubi boots.

The ubuntu forums are at
http://ubuntuforums.org/
they are good, not as great as the SlimDevices folks, but still very 
helpful.
