I've never played with a WinME box. It might be using the same SMB code
that Win2k is - and Win2k caused a lot of trouble for Samba. Which version
of Samba are you using?

I don't have a linux box to check documentation on, and my memory is a
little rusty. IIRC `umount -a` will attempt to unmount things you have in
your fstab (your CD and floppy). Will it still give an error if you specify
the directory you mounted the Samba share on? (Please do a `man umount` and
check my memory regarding the -a switch.)
