>From a command line on Linux (without Windows or samba), can you
access /windows as root? as a user? do files show up when you do things

does it show up as mounted?
command to show active mounts....
'mount'
From the linux machine, I can do anything I want with /windows as user
or root. Read - write, browse, whatever. I wasn't surprised to see it
listed when I ran mount - it's there.
