Sure!  With mount, you can mount your Windows
partition and read from
(possibly even write to) it.  Your /etc/fstab file
should have a line in
it like this:

/dev/hda1    /windows ntfs defaults,uid=icco,gid=icco
0 0

If you have fat32 filesystem and not NTFS, then change
ntfs to vfat. 
And don't forget to mkdir /windows if you don't have
it.  If your
primary username is not 'icco', change that to
whatever as well.  The
uid/gid just lets you access the Windows drive as your
user, not only as
root.

I didn't quite understand what you meant above. I have
ntfs, how do I
change it to vfat? Do you mean primary username on
windows or on linux? 

Thanks for your help
