Unmount it using sudo, then try to mount it without the sudo. Just:

mount /dev/hda1 /media/windows

If that doesn't work, you'll have to edit your fstab file:

sudo vi /etc/fstab

and make sure the drive is in there and has "user" listed under the options. 
Something like this:

/dev/hda1 /media/windows vfat rw,user 0 0
