You just need to set the Windows share at the root dir of the partition in question. Under NT/2000 there is an administrative share such as c$, d$, etc.

At the house, I setup the Win98 machines with shares at the root level with names like "c_drive". You can then mount the share with samba and have full access to the drive.

Here is a sample of mounting another machine in the house with samba for full drive access:

Code:

FreeBSD:joeuser:/home/joeuser $ su
Password:
FreeBSD:root:/home/joeuser $ mount -t smbfs //targetmachine/c_drive /targetmachine/
Password:
FreeBSD:root:/home/joeuser $ cd /targetmachine/
FreeBSD:root:/targetmachine $ ls -al

ntfs.util

NTFS.UTIL(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					      NTFS.UTIL(8)

NAME

     ntfs.util -- NTFS file system utility

SYNOPSIS

     ntfs.util -k device

     ntfs.util -m device mountpoint mountflag1 mountflag2 mountflag3 mountflag4

     ntfs.util -p device mountflag1 mountflag2

     ntfs.util -u device mountpoint

DESCRIPTION

     The ntfs.util command supports the mounting, probing, and unmounting of NTFS file systems.

     Options:
	   -k	       Get the UUID key for the NTFS file system at device.
	   -m	       Mount the NTFS file system located on device onto mountpoint with the flags mountflag1 mountflag2 mountflag3 mountflag4.
	   -p	       Probe the device for an NTFS file system using the flags mountflag1 mountflag2.	If the probe is successful, i.e. the
		       device contains a valid NTFS file system, its label is printed to the standard output stream.
	   -u	       Unmount the NTFS file system located at device and mounted on mountpoint.

     The mountflags referenced above are:
	   o   mountflag1: removable or fixed
	   o   mountflag2: readonly or writeable
	   o   mountflag3: suid or nosuid
	   o   mountflag4: dev or nodev
