As root, make a mount point on your linux partition, such as:
mkdir /msdos

then,

mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 (or hdawhatever your c: partition is) /msdos

unless you are using SCSI drives then you would want:

mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 (or hdawhatever your c: partition is) /msdos

This will allow you to access your Windoze partition via Linux.

To make this automatically happen you need to edit your fstab. More
info is available in by typing at the linux prompt:

man fstab
