Create a mountpoint for your partition then add a line in /etc/fstab to mount it when you boot.

/dev/hda2 /mnt/win vfat rw 0 0

is an example line you could use. Check your fstab for formatting and whatnot. The first entry is the partition, second is the mountpoint, 3rd is the filesystem type. The rest tells the OS that it is read/write and that it is not to be checked if you have to fsck your drives after a crash.

Also do a man fstab to get more details.
