make sure that you have installed ntfs-3g
first find out which device has the windows disk partition.
sudo fdisk -l should say something like:
Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes, 976773168 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk label type: dos
Disk identifier: 0xd0a3d0a3
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 63 134576504 67288221 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda2 134578176 135602175 512000 83 Linux
/dev/sda3 135602176 976766975 420582400 83 Linux
Disk /dev/sdb: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes, 976773168 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
second: make your linux mount point.
sudo mkdir /mnt/diskC (or any other name you want)
third: mount using something like:
sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/diskC/ -o rw
your window disk partition is /dev/sda1
your mount point is /mnt/diskC
-t says to use ntfs partition type
-o says to enable read/write. I don't know if Rhythmbox needs to write
to the partition, so I would mount it read only using -o ro
fourth: point Rythmbox at the mount point /mnt/diskC/<directory of choice>
done.

How did you make the mount point? And where do I find other
partitions, and does this work with Rhythmbox?

Hi guys. I have a question about making a link to my music library,
who resides on my Windows partition. My goal is to have a music
library reside on my partition and not have to copy it over to my
Fedora partition, who is a little scrapped for space. Suggestions
would be greatly appreciated.
Eh. I do something similar on my netbook. I have my Win7 partition
for if I really MUST use Windows for something and throw all my music
in it and just mount that partition from Fedora. I don't use fstab to
automount, but it's nothing more complicated than setting up a static
mount point (mine is /media/music) and mounting the windows partition
to it. Amarok works fine using that mount point, but YMMV with other
music players.
Be glad to help you with it if need be.
