You do not use Samba for this. Samba is only for accessing live windows
shares over a network.

To access the iwndows drives while running linux you must mount the windows
filesystems. If you have used fat32 this is easy and works fine for read and
write. However more recent windows machines all tend to use ntfs, there is
working read support available for ntfs however write support is still
somewhat unstable/dangerous AFAIK.

Look at man mount anyway and it will explain how to go about mounting a
filesystem.
