I'd put this in a FAQ, but it is asked in so many different places :-)

In /etc/fstab:

  /dev/hda1 /win vfat rw,gid=1003,umask=002 0 2

Where (of course) /dev/hda1 actually points to the windoze partition, /win
is the Linux filesystem path to your windoze partition, gid=1003 points to
some user-group you create (I created "win" with gid=1003) and you then add
any user who should be able to write to the windows partition to group
"win".
