You could do it like adding this:

/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_WDC_WD2500YS-01_WD-WCANY3401280-partX /winXP vfat auto, user, umask=0000 0 0

X is the number of your windows partition
/winXP the mount point where it should be connected
umask=0000 sets the acces for reading writing for everyone

in fstab it looks like that
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_WDC_WD2500YS-01_WD-WCANY3401280-part1 /mnt/fat32 vfat users,gid=users,umask=0002,utf8=true 0 0

Actually, if you use the Partitioner in Yast > click on the partiton & assign it a Mount Point like /winC, it will do it for you. Just don't click the format radio button; you want Do Not Format.
