If you can help please reply!!!!!
In advance thanks for the help everyone.
In your /etc/fstab file you must have /dev/hda1 set up to mount on /windows/C directory. The message you are getting indicates that the mount directory does not exist. You need to create that directory. Remember, *NIX is case sensitive on directory and file names, the message shows an upper case "c", the directory must indeed be "/windows/C".
Do a "mkdir -p /windows/C" as root and then try to mount again, should be good to go (assuming you also have the file system type set right in your /etc/fstab and your kernel is compiled to support that file system type).
