ok I did that and there was no output in the terminal

where will the windows share be accessible from?

I tried going to computer and it doesnt appear to be in there?

Can i create a link to the share on the desktop or in a panel?

TIA

I am a n00b to linux o bare with me

i did the command u mentioned

mount -t smbfs //192.168.1.10/MEDIA /root/HOME/Music

and i am receiving the following output from the terminal

mount:
wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //192.168.1.10/MEDIA,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

the windows share is a partition formatted as FAT32

I dont know where to go from here, any help would be appreciated

TIA

The answer to your question is:

e.g. Assumed that /dev/hda1 is the location of Windows partition (FAT)
Local mount folder: /media/windows

These are the commands:

sudo mkdir /media/windows
sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab_backup

You'll be asked for the password, then:

sudo gedit /etc/fstab

Append the following line to the end of the file:

/dev/hda1 /media/windows vfat iocharset=utf8,umask=000 0 0

Save the edited file
