If the Windows drives are FAT/FAT32, you can simply mount them:

# mkdir /win98

# mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /win98

(change /dev/hda1 to reflect actual Windows partition - use "fdisk /dev/hda" to look at partitions - be careful not to enter "w" in fdisk unless you actually want to save changes - and you don't want to, in this case, so use "q" instead)

Now you can access your Windows files from Linux (/win98).

For further info:

# man mount

Good luck.
