As long as it's specified during install it will put all the files there
by it's self.

thats the fstab line, in diskdruid just tell it /mnt/windows or something
you really only get one option with a windows drive and thats the mount
point. The uid=500 is an optional parameter to allow user 500 read/write
access (theres also available the, gid= & umask= options to setup a "vfat"
group to deal with allowing mass access)

Yes, just specify the mount point and your all set for moveing files
around as root.

Well it's by far the simplest and cheapest sense you already have all the
required software, you can get win32 nfs clients and theres always ftp.
The howtos are for the most part simple enough for most to follow, the
registry patches are in /usr/doc/samba-(version) if your running anything
but the original windows 95.

Well like the documents say, Wine is an alternate implementation of the
windows API.
