Tell your windows machine to share the drive over the network like you would share it with any other windows machine.

Use CIFS to mount it on linux.

Without more details (what version of windows, what version of linux, permission restrictions, etc.) it's hard to give more information than that.

This works on CentOS 5, should also work on RHEL 6 -

Code:

mount -t cifs //<windows server IP address>/DATA -o username=<username>,password=<password> /home/data/
