OK, feeling stupid here. I have XP on one side of my laptop, Preview on the other. The only way I have found to access the XP side was to install
========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"http://packages.debian.org/etch/mountpy"
linktext was:"mountpy"
====================================
--whose 11 kB work very well--and run it each time before I open Rox (as root).
Is there a better way? TIA.

Your windows partition is probably below the"dynamic entries" line in the fstab. Move it above that line and it will be mounted on boot. I usually change the mount point to something like /home/me/windows just to avoid the navigation. This way it will mount directly in my /home.

Thanks. Here is my fstab:
IMHO, 7.2 Final should if possible make it easy to access a Windows partition in a dual-boot setup, similar to the way that MEPIS 7 does with kwikdisk.[/quote]
I don't understand why the XP (sda1) filesystem is not identified as ntfs...# Pluggable devices are handled by uDev, they are not in fstab
/dev/sda2 / ext3 defaults,noatime 1 1
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
procbususb /proc/bus/usb usbfs devmode=0666 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0622 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
# Dynamic entries below
/dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 vfat,ext3,ext2,reiserfs noauto,users,exec 0 0
/dev/sda5 swap swap sw,pri=1 0 0
/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,users,exec,ro 0 0
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,users,exec,ro 0 0

/dev/sda1 /media/windows ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
/dev/sda2 /media/storage ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
