Answer 1

You have to configure samba or CIFS. Check the link http://cri.ch/linux/docs/sk0001.html or http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-to-mount-remote-windows-partition-windows-share-under-linux.html

Answer 2

Access Windows file in Linux

Mount –t cifs –o username=YourUserName,password=YourPassword --verbose //WindowsComputerName/Folder /media/Folder

1. Don’t input domain name in front of YourUserName.
2. Don’t input space between username and password.
3. You can ignore apostrophe of username.
4. You’d better input –verbose so that you can see detail information after execution.
5. You should create /media/Folder in advance.
6. If it prompts “Permission Denied” after execution, you can read Windows event log to get the root cause!
