Ah - you have done an installation to your hard drive and now the familiar desktop icons are no longer there. As root run cfdisk -

su
<password>
cfdisk /dev/hda (change 'hda' to whichever hard drive you wish to see).
Once you see your partitions you just need to mount them, here's an example:

mount -t vfat /dev/hda3 /mnt/win

I have no idea what mount points you have - you can see them like this:

cd /mnt
ls

I have no use for desktop icons myself but you can create them if you like. You'll likely need to edit your fstab but to find out what partitions are already mounted look at /etc/mtab.
