Have you looked at the Newbie Help Files (http://www.linuxnewbie.org/nhf/intel/misc/winhd.html)??

Use Filemanager in SU mode instead of logging on as root though ;)

If you are talking about a ntfs partition, then what I've read here is that Redhat does not include ntfs support as their default and you will need to recompile the kernel to add ntfs.

If vfat, then either read the many many prior posts here on the subject or read the manpages on mount and fstab.
