Hi!
I have two hard drives on my machine which I am using as a file server.
The first HDD contains the RH Linux 7.2 distribution and the second contains
Windows 98, the previous OS that I was using on the machine.
I have created a mount in the '/etc/fstab' file and the drives on the
second disk are visible over the intranet, when I try to access it on the
network.
The main problem comes when I have to save anything on that drive. It
gives an 'Access Denied' message and I am unable to write anything to this
drive. The '/etc/fstab' and '/etc/samba/smb.conf' files are given below:

Please advice on how to access my Windows drive with writeable
