    Hiho Kaye, I don’t know what you already know and what not and you also didn’t say which Windows you’d like to access.

    That’s why I’d like to issue one WARNING:

    If/when you are mounting Windows 7 and UNDER (Vista, XP, 2000 …) there’s nothing special about to take care of.

    However, if you attempt to access the partitions of Windows 8 / 8.1 / 10, you should know that:

    You should NEVER auto-mount them, NEVER change the existing files (write/overwrite) and even better, not even open (read) the files

    UNLESS

    you realy made 101 % sure that the Windows is FULLY SHUTDOWN.

    I wrote an answer (on another topic though) that explaines the problematics around shutdown here and here.
