Hoi, I am running a quad boot machine with win98, 2000 advanced server, XP pro and redhat 7 and I was wondering if there is a way to see your linux partition from windows. This would be very handy. I have mounted the Windows drives from Linux so I can see the Windows stuff but I would like to be able to do it the other way around...how do I do this??? Is it possible to do?

You'll wanna checkout the Samba package. checkout samba.org. it basically involves editing the smb.conf and adding a share with certain properties that u want it to have... unfortunately it is not 'right click share this' as in windows, but hopefully samba will be fully integrated into konqueror one day (one can only hope!)
