I mounted my windows partitions through fstab, but the problem is. If i reboot and log in with just a normal user i can't mount the drives (get the line XX of fstab bad error). I have to log into root, mount the volumes (just by clicking on them), then log out and go in as user, then i can acess the volumes.

I know this is probably a permissions thing. But how do i go about making it so i don't have to log into root to mount them?

Try adding this 'user' to the apropriat line in your /etc/fstab file (man fstab) so that the entry would look something like this:
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows auto noauto,user
