You have a dual-boot setup? With Ubuntu and Windows on the same computer?

How can you access shared folders on windows without having a user and password?
will
//servername/sharename /media/mountname cifs username=,password= 0 0
suffice?
It depends on how Windows 7 is setup and the active policies for file sharing. By default, it would not work, you would need to have a username and password. However, if you configure it not to use authentication, then it would work, obviously.

Hi,
I’m trying to use this for my Ubuntu partition so I can access folders on Windows using ubuntu, but I keep getting the following error in the gedit step for adding the info about the servername and such:
(gedit:1939): Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to store changes into `/root/.local/share/recently-used.xbel’, but failed: Failed to create file ‘/root/.local/share/recently-used.xbel.SJ1Z7V’: No such file or directory
And then when I try the mount step I get this error:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //Sarah-PC/Video,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
(for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
need a /sbin/mount. helper program)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog – try
dmesg | tail or so
I followed all the steps from the beginning of this tutorial, but I’m not sure where I am going wrong…
Thanks.
