first creat a folder where you want to mount the partition suppose "win" in root directory

now open a file named fstab using this command

vi /etc/fstab

in this file add following as last line

/dev/sda9 [tabs] /root/win [tabs] vfat [tabs] defaults [tabs] 0[single space]0
(be carefull : tab is used as a delimiter between coloums of fstab entries do not use space bar so allign your entry with lines above using tab)
and save the file (you can only make changes if you login as administrator or root)
the file system will be automatically mounted for ever
you can add any partition like this if supported by linux
