Sat your Windows partition is on /dev/hda1 and it is a FAT32 partition, the
basic configuration for your /etc/fstab should be:
File: /etc/fstab
/dev/hda1 /mnt/c vfat defaults 0 0
where:
* /dev/hda1 is the partition
* /mnt/c is the mountpoint where the partition will be available after
mounting
* vfat is the file system type
* defaults is the option to be passed to mount
* 0 0 is related to file system integrity test (no test with 0 0)
so, as root, type mount /mnt/c after first creating it:
mkdir /mnt/c
