I have two HDD on a linux machine (lubuntu) that is networked to a windows 7 machine. Accessing the main hard drive on lubuntu from the windows PC is not a problem but although windows can see the second hard drive on lubuntu I can't access it because I am refused permision to do so. Please how do I gain this permission?

You should read up on how to use linux. When you connect you are probably asked for user credentials (or can input them optionally). In a linux system you should make a user account with the proper permissions for each partition that you want access to. After this, you should connect to the linux machine with this newly made user and things should work better now that you have the proper permissions.

If you do not want the hassle of learning linux commands you should think about just installing windows on the linux machine to make your like easier, that way you can make user accounts the same way you usually do and access things much easier.

You need to provide two permissions on your Linux box:
- permission for Samba service account to access that harddrive (mount point)
- permission for your Windows account to access that mount point as a shared folder
So, check your Samba configuration. I don't know whether lUbunti provides any GIU for that...
