    Well to just get them to show up, you would run the mount command.
    Create a directory in /mnt or /media, then run the mount command as root, so
    sudo mount -t vfat/ntfs-3g /dev/sdX# /mnt/windows
    ntfs-3g is required for NTFS write support. It might not be installed, however there would be a read only driver. After type, you specify the partition which should be /dev/sda# where # is the number of the partition. If you have more than one drive then it would be sdb, sdc, etc. You can run sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda for a list of partitions.

    To have the drives appear each boot, generally you would add an entry for each to your /etc/fstab file. Basically the same info as the mount command. Then run sudo mount -a

    For windows there are a couple of ext drivers you can install.
