Samba permission problem with NTFS drive

I am running Slack 10.2 as a samba file server and have run into a problem. When I try to access the shares from a windows computer it says I may not have permission. So, I check the permissions on the slack box and sure enough access is restricted. So I attempt to change the permissions and it says that it can't. There are 2 drives, both NTFS, both previously used as storage drives on a Windows system.

Any ideas as to how I can get access to these drives through Samba?

Thanks.

That was the problem, the mount string wasn't correct. I got it figured out finally.

Thanks for the reply.
