On NT - if it's 2000 - then you can review the hard drive partitions like 
this -
click -
     control panel - computer management - storage (disk management)

Then, on the right-side plane, you can review such info.  On Linux, use 
fdisk with the p options to print (review) the partition info.  In any case, 
you could compile into the Kernel some NTFS support, but I'll defer to some 
others on that topic.

I prefer Samba server stuff, but that requires another computer.

It depends.  Just like when you mount /dev/fd0 to /mnt/floppy (or any other 
mount point you wish, you can crave out a solution that meets you desire.  
But, again, I will have to defer to others on specifics, since I have never 
done that.  I prefer to dedicate a computer to one OS.
