 +===== Commands to mount =====
 +Note
 +  * hello_pc is the name of the Windows Machine
 +  * Using the same name for the mount point name as well
 +  * First do a ls -l /mnt/hello_pc (or whatever is the name of the mount point you want to create). This is to make sure you don't already have one. 
 +  * If you do and don't want to use it anymore do an "umount /mnt/hello_pc" (anything else might result in data loss!!!)
 +
 +<code bash>
 +aptitude install cifs-utils
 +mkdir -p /mnt/hello_pc
 +mount -t cifs -o username=hello,password=somepassword //hello_pc/c$ /mnt/hello_pc
 +cd /mnt/hello_pc/
 +ls

 +</code>
 +
 +Create the password file /etc/sambapasswords with the following lines. No spaces before or after '=' on both lines.
 +<code>
 +username=hello
