HMFIC,
Yes you can have access to your Windows, (NTFS), partition in Linux. Just follow the instructions below.
Open a terminal and type: (put your username in place of mine in all cases.)
mkdir /home/fred/Windows
gksu gedit /etc/fstab
A window will open displaying the fstab file for editing. Put the following line at the end of the file, save and close. ( I am assuming your Windows install is located on the first partition of the first hard drive.)
/dev/sda1 /home/fred/Windows ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 0
That is it. Reboot and you should have a folder in your /home named Windows. Clicking on it will open your Windows partition.

HMFIC,
No No... not smarter at all. Just been around a long time, in almost every sense of the word.
Glad I could help and Merry Christmas to you and yours!
