Hi Gaurav,

The first thing to know is which formatting is used on the W2K
partition. If it is NTFS you'll need to do a couple of extra steps.

If it is FAT/FAT32 you can mount it using the following

mkdir /mnt/windows
mount -t msdos /dev/hdx /mnt/windows

Where /dev/hdx is the partition you are trying to mount. If you do a
fdisk -l you can see which partitions you have.

I'd have a stab in the dark and say you'd be mounting /dev/hda

If your partition is NTFS you need to go over to
http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/ and a read of their documentation.

HTH
