Do you mean that you missed the opportunity to let the installer set up
the windows partition in /etc/fstab for you? That can easily be fixed
(see below). If I misunderstand you and you have in fact more severe
problems (e.g. you cannot boot windows anymore) then we need more
details about these problems.

Post your fstab so that we can have a look.

OK, so the problem is really only how to mount the windows partition.

You don't have to. You just have to tell us how your windows partition
is called under Linux. This will probably be something like /dev/hda1 or
/dev/sda1. If you don't know this, reply to this mail and ask for
directions how to find it out.

I think this might mean that you are not subscribed to the list and that
you want to be CC'ed in the reply, therefore I send a copy of this
message to you directly. However, if you want to respond with further
information or questions, please send your reply to the debian-user list
and not to my own email address. Some email programs do not have a "list
reply" option, so you might have to use "group reply" or "reply to all"
and switch the "To:" address to debian-user manually.
You probably already know that you can follow discussions on the list by
reading the archive:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2008/03/msg01963.html
If you find that your email program makes it difficult to reply to the
list properly, then you can have a look at the Gmane web interface:
http://news.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.user
You will see an overview of the current discussion topics on the list;
your message and this reply are in there in a separate "thread". You can
continue the discussion via Gmane simply by selecting a message and
using the "--Action--" -> "Followup" menu in the top right corner. This
will give you a web form to compose and send your reply.
