Mandrake should have mounted your windows partition at /mnt/windows_c
The mounting of these partitions is automated at boot, by /etc/fstab.
If for any obscure reason it is not mounting at boot you will need to mount manually. as root.

you can remove the dirs by deleting the unnecessary ones. As root!
