No you are not clear - I don't understand a thing you are saying. Why would you be root to gain access to a Windows partition - and would that make it possible?
From Bianca Mint comes with mintDisk that automounts FAT and NTFS.
In case that does not happen you have to edit your /etc/fstab file. To do that you need to be root - make a copy first and then remove every instance of windows partitions - be it as a comment or not.
After that they are mounted

Perhaps this may help - I installed Bianca Light from a Live CD very recently. First time I opened one of my files in my Windows My Docs folder, it was read-only, but since then I have had no difficulty in editing them.
With best wishes,

Yours sincerely, -
