As root create the directories you want:-
mkdir /mnt/win-c #call them what you like
mkdir /mnt/win-d
Still as root edit /etc/fstab to add lines like:-
/dev/hda1 /mnt/win-c vfat rw,uid=1000,gid=100 0 0
where /dev/hda1 is the windows partition
/mnt/win-c is the mount point in linux
vfat is the file type
rw means read/write
uid=1000 is user (you) who wants to own the files
gid=100 is group
0 0 is to do with backup
read man fstab & man mount, lots of variations on the above available

I recently installed Debian Sarge i386 to dual-boot with XP Home. This
is not the first time I have installed Linux to dual boot with Windows,
I used to have Mandrake/Mandriva. With Mandrake, I could access the
data held on my windows partitions through /mnt/windows_c/,
/mnt/windows_d/ and so on. /mnt/ is empty on my Debian install, both as
my user and as root.
Is there any way short of re-installing that I can get Debian to
recognise these drives? Could I be missing mount points, and if so, how
would I get them? I mostly want access to my mp3s.
Any help is appreciated ahead of time,
