[NCLUG] Ubunto 8.04 - autoinstall of XP partitions

  I now have a dual-boot system - Ubuntu, XP Pro.  I need to automount the XP partitions so that they are mounted when I logon to Ubuntu.
I am able to use the CLI and type the  mount  command.  This will mount the drives for the active session; but this is lost when I logoff.
  I have done the following:
    sudo get-apt update
    sudo get-apt install autofs
Now what should I do?
I am still confused after reading (several times) the  man  pages for  autofs(8), auto.master(5), autofs(5).  Any assistance, examples would be appreciated.
