every time i try mount the drive, it never shows up.

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbdisk

nothing shows under mount or df-h. any ideas?

you are missing the package block-mount
and the driver for your filesystem.
If it's ext2/3/4 install kmod-ext4, for fat32 it's kmod-vfat.

and configure /etc/config/fstab

OpenWrt:~# mount
/dev/sda1 on /mnt/usbdisk type ext4 (rw,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered)

You will need to create two primary paritions/volumes (the term is interchangeable). You will need to install linux on the first parition and Windows on the second. The FDISK command will also let you choose which parition is to be set to active. You will have to set the first partition to Active to run linux, and the second one should be active whenever you wish to run Windows.
