OK, I've got a dual boot linux/win2k up and running. I have a couple fat32 partions that mount automatically using fstab. I have no problem writing or reading to the mounted partitions. Problem is, I cant share anything on the mounted partions.

What do you mean by can't share anything on the mounted partitions??? When you run "ls -la" at the prompt, do you see those drives at all? Which Linux distro you are using right now?

I need to share directories on the fat32 partitions with windows machines on my network whilst running linux. I have samba up and running correctly, and can "share" directories on my linux partition or even smb mounted directories. But i cant share any directory in the ntfs or fat32 partitions.
I wish I could get rid of windows compleatly but until Pro/E has a version to run on linux I cant :(
