Are you running XBMC in the Live environment, or under Win 7?
Taking a guess, I'd say you were dual booting Live and Win 7, is that right?
In that case, you should probably be able to see and read your Windows partition if you mount it, but probably not write to it.

You could always try installing the Windows version of XBMC. I tried booting the Live CD on my laptop to begin with, but found it didn't work as well as the Windows version.
*edit*
Ok, I understand now.
If I remember correctly, the Live version cannot see any of your Windows files when running in Live mode.
I'd suggest trying the Windows version first to get a feel for XMBC then, if you're sure, start using a permanent version of Live if you think that is what you need.

If you want to see.your windows partitions, the live CD is not the way to go.
What he is suggesting is that you installed the windows version of xmbc to try it out.
Then, if you are happy with it, installing the live version it dual boot with windows (or install something like unbuntu to dual boot) would work. That way you could see your local drives.
