System :: How to access XP partition with DSL

Probably been asked many times, but here it is again. I have a Windows XP ntfs partition on my box. Though I have not had problems accessing it from Mandriva in the root subdirectory "mnt", and in "drv" in other distros, I have been unable to figure out how to get to it from DSL. Any help on where it is hiding?

you can vizualise your partitions by : fdisk -l.
for instance a primary XP partition (C:) can be seen as /dev/hda1, and and extended partition, such as D:, /dev/hda5
to mount it, just type:
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1, and you should access to your XP partition.
you can mount it at boot by putting the mount command in /opt/bootlocal.sh.
