I dunno why, but I'm tempted to reply to this mail.

OK, as root, give the command "fdisk -l" without the quotes (that's a lowercase L there) and you'd see a list of partitions on your system. Look out for DOS, FAT (or something that looks like a Windows partition) in the last column (System) and note the corresponding entry in the first column (Device). Let's say it was /dev/hda1.

Now make a directory that you want to call your Windows partition in Linux, say, WindowsC. Do "mkdir /WindowsC" as root (without the quotes) and then do "mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /WindowsC" again, no quotes. Now check the contents of /WindowsC in your file manager or "ls" at the terminal to check if you got everything there. (Phew!)
