Viewing win98 drive with SMB4K
Linux noob. So please bear with me.

I have a windows 98 machine which had an extra HDD. So I threw mandrake 10.1 on it.

So far all is well. My XP can see shares from the linux box and the linux box can browse the XP machine.

My problem is the primary drive which holds 98 on the linux box. It shows up in /mnt and I can browse it. However I cannot figure out how I can share this drive so my XP machine can see it.
SMB4K insists that items in the home folder are the only ones which can be shared. So if I try and set up sharing through properties on the drive I get a message telling me I can't share it from that location.

How can I mount this so my XP machine can see it?

TIA
