Hi Vijayalakshmi:
Samba is a platform for sharing resources over a network.
if you have a dual boot system ie. one partition is windows and
another partition is BSD/Linux, you would need to install the
appropriate driver to access the partition.
eg. on Windows side you install
ext2/ext3 driver for Linux
ufs driver for BSD
on BSD/Solaris/Linux side you install
ntfs-3g driver for windows
Please see http://www.ntfs-3g.org/
Since i don't use Windows at all, i'm not in a position to state
how well the "write" support is !
Appreciate your questions and hope to see you explore the
subject in a little more depth.
Please let me know if this helps.
thanks
Saifi.
