here is how you access Windows Volumes :
Mac OS X does not display the names of SMB servers in the Connect to Server dialog. However, you may connect to them by following these steps.
In the address field of the Connect to Server dialog, type the URL using this syntax:
smb://ServerName/ShareName/
After you click connect, you will be prompted for the workgroup, user name, and password.
Notes:
1. "ServerName" may be an IP address or DNS name.
2. The name of the "share" (the shared disk, volume, or directory) must be specified. You will not be prompted for it.
3. The name of the share cannot contain spaces.
4. Connecting to (mounting) two or more SMB volumes simultaneously may cause a kernel panic. Drag one volume to the Trash to eject it before connecting to another.
5. The only alert message that Mac OS X displays for SMB login difficulties is "There's no file service available at the URL <URL>." This is sometimes correct and sometimes incorrect. This is the message that would appear if you mistyped your password, for example.
6. Mac OS X connects to SMB via the TCP/IP protocol, not via the NetBIOS protocol.
7. When troubleshooting a connection failure, you can ping the IP address of the Windows computer using the Mac OS X Network Utility to verify a TCP/IP connection between the two computers.
