Err, in case your ms-dos drives weren't mounted, you could use the mtools
package to use them like you would do in DOS.  mtools is found in the
packages directory.  Install it, and go through it's manpages.  You can
then type commands like "mdir c:" or "mcopy file.txt c:\some-dir" etc.
And that means even non-root users.
