hi there i had the same problem as well, i had a look in the
/etc/fstab and it didn't have the drive in there, so i had to add it
manually, here is a example of what i added to mine.
/dev/hdb1 /media/windows vfat user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 0 0
i added that you might have to edit the above a bit but it works ok
for me.
