sounds like a permissions issue, really. you should just need to chmod the directories you dont have access to so normal users can access them, although normal users shouldnt need to be in the root, boot, etc, or dev directories
thanks czarherr but I managed to gain access to my shared folder on my windows server but i can only read not write to the directory but when I got to change the permissions is says that I cant because i am not the root user.
oh, gotta be root, of course. hopefully youre the root user, if not, talk to them. as far as read only goes, that will be in the configuration of samba (assuming thats what youre using)
well, at some point you were asked to enter a root password during install. At login, you type in root at login, then your root password. better yet, you should avoid logging in directly as root, and instead log on as a user, enter
su
then your root password when it prompts for it, then youre root
