How can I copy an entire CD (from WinXP) to a dir on my Linux server?

While trying to update Samba on my Linux, I realized I need my original SuSE CDs to do this. I'd like to copy all of my SuSE CDs from my Windows XP client (I've copied them to one dir on my C:\drive) to my Linux server for future reference. I don't know how to reference my local c:\installcds\ directory on my Linux box.

In the "My Computer" of the Windows client, should be a network drive belonging to the server (for most setups, not sure about yours). If you allow the client permissions to write to the drive letter of the server. You should just be able to copy the folder with the ISO's into the server drive. Also, the server should be able to access the ISO's from off the client's drive without moving them. The drives of all systems should be mapped.
