how is the windows partition formatted - fat, fat32, ntfs?

what does "sudo fdisk -l" give?

If you load the filesystems-2.6.33.3-tinycore extension, you should have read access to the ntfs partition

If you also want to write on this partition you'll need the ntfs-3g package. I've also done a remaster of TCL that already includes the ntfs-3g driver. Take a look at the remix / remaster section.
