1.    First make a directory under /mnt called win95 (or
wherever/whatever
you want)2.    Type 'mount /dev/hda1 -t vfat /mnt/win95' (assuming the
win95 partition is the first one, or the C: drive)
3.    If that doesn't work, try '-t msdos' instead of '-t vfat', but
vfat
should work on newish kernels.
4.    Then put the following line in /etc/fstab:

/dev/hda1        /mnt/win95        vfat        defaults        1    1

to make it mount at boot time.

All clear? :-)

cheers
