Just makes sure they're all shared on the mac or pc. Mac = right click the drive > get info > sharing and permissions.
Not 100% on pc. But it'll be something similar. Right click properties and then sharing tab at a guess.
Alternatively to access everything on the mac through windows 7, if you go into the bit with network locations where you select workgroup computers (again not 100% on where). Then double click the mac, login with your osx username and password. Then everything should show up I think.
This is a little dodgy at times though, and on occasion your mac won't show up at all (if it runs lion that is).

I do it over the network, enable remote login on the Mac and SSH to the Mac from a PC using Filezilla.

On the Mac go to System Preferences > Sharing > Enable Remote Login.
You will the find the IP address of the Mac there too. On the PC, get Filezilla and connect using SFTP to the IP address of the Mac and your username/password of the Mac.
- Assuming both the Mac and PC are on the same network of course.ernexbcn

^ So long as file sharing is enabled properly on the PC. Just jump to your desktop on the mac then Go > Connect To Server
Up comes the pop up box then just put
smb://PC-NAME (or local IP). And you should be on your way.

Great, i got that to work too, thanks!
One last thing is it possible to access other drives too (right now i can access the desktop while i want the mac to access the array of HDs on the PC and the PC to access the array of HDs on mac)?
