You need to mount the the windows drive(s) on your linux box.
You will need to make a mount point like - /mnt/winc say for C drive.
Call it anything you like. Put it where you like.
You also need the SMB (SAMBA) client software on your linux box.
Mount it with-
/YOURPATH/smbmount //host/share /mnt/winc
/YOURPATH is the path to smbmount.
host is the name of the windows computer.
share is the drive or folder to mount.
/mnt/winc as above.
Repeat for each share.
Treat it/them as windows partitions on the linux box.
Don't forget to-
smbumount /mnt/winc
when you're done.

I haven't bothered to edit my smb.conf since I changed over to RH a couple
of
days ago. Guess I don't have anything on my linux box that windows wants :-)
I tend to use linux now to transfer files between computer. I need the
practice.
