Pete,
I may be misunderstanding what you are trying to do, but I don't think Samba is what
you are looking for. Samba is used to do two things (as far as file sharing goes):
The Samba client is used on a Linux box to access files that reside on another
machine using the SMB protocol over a network (generally a Windows machine).
The Samba server is used on a Linux box to serve files to clients running the SMB
client over the network, usually Windows machines.
If you are trying to access files on a windows partition (FAT or NTFS) on the same
machine that houses the partition, you do not need Samba. Samba is used to access
files over the network (and to provide Windows authentication, print server, etc).
