accessing other partition

[Wendy Leigh Vandoolaeghe <wlv21@hermes.cam.ac.uk>]

Hi

i have two partitions on my Dell Inspiron 8600, and would now wish to copy 
files from the Windows partition to the linux side, so that i can make the 
windows partition minimally small.
how do i mount the Windows partition? I thought i could just
mount the ntfs partition as /dev/hda2. but that produces a warning:

# mount: can't find /dev/hda2 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

don't know if it gives any useful info, but the contents of 
/boot/grub/menu.lst looks like this:
