Using Samba Protocol + Hard disk issues
 

Hi All,

I want to use Samba protocol,for accessing my friends system,both are in
same network.Can anybody suggest me a good link so that i can move ahead.
Is it possible to use samba between multiple machines.
My hard disk is of 80 GB(40 GB for windows & linux),i want to access my windows partitions from linux.How is it possible? tell me about the partition setting in both the OS.
If two hard disks are connected to a system,one windows and other linux,the same procedure will be used to access the windows Hard Disk or some different procedure is used.
