For this purpose I use a freeware preference pane/app called 
SharePoints. I used version 3.2 with Jaguar and still use it in Panther, 
I now see there's a 3.3 version for Panther BTW. I use the preference 
pane part, very easy, create a new share, name it, enable Windows (SMB) 
and/or Mac (AFP) sharing. Don't forget to enter the windows domain name 
there aswell, usually MSHOME. I also had to enter this in the Address 
Utility or something like that in the Utilities folder in the Apps 
folder. From then on you're able to mount to whole HD, or partitions in 
my case. There's even an option to hide system files starting with a 
period (.).

With SharePoints I'm able to use my B&W G3 with 2x 
80Gb/7200rpm/8MB/ATA133 in a RAID 0 set up on a Sonnet ATA133 RAID card 
running 10.3.1 as a server for all my other Macs, my PC, my bro's PCs 
and everyone else joining my LAN parties :-).
