Once you install Samba you have to rc-update add samba
default (or xdm). The update your etc/samba/smb.conf
file. The XP users have to have an account on the Linux
box with the same name and password as the windows box.
Once you set up a Linux user account for them run
smbpasswd and add them to samba.

Thanks for the response.
I have tried samba but could not get windows to see the
partitions. - I don't
know what I did wrong.
I could do with a step by step guide to do this from
someone who has this
working.
Thanks again

Why not use Samba? Then WinXP can see the drives as
shares and you can use Explorer to drag and drop from
the
Gentoo box to the Windows box.
