Jeremy,
Here's my fstab entry for my vfat partition. Since I'm the only user
of my system at home I changed the uid/gid and umask so that I can
access the files. You might want to check out man mount, man fstab and
man umask for setting up your win drive. Hope this helps.
/dev/hda1 /dos vfat uid=500,gid=500,umask=027 0 0
