I may be misreading the original question, but I took it to mean
mounting a shared folder from another box. Steve's directions are good
for mounting a local drive or partition. If its a network share use

mount //<box_name>/<share_Name> /mnt/something

Where <box_name> and <share_name> are the names of the netbios name and
folder name on windows box respectively.

This assumes you have samba installed and working and the share is
visible from the linux box of course.
