in attempting to access files on my mac from a PC, i am able to log in as the OSX user, but then am only able to access that users directory... how can i access the root of the system? i.e. Macintosh HD, connected firewire drives, etc...

I did it by editing my smb.conf file to include references to the volumes.

try using this SharePoints

it makes sharing whole drives as easy as file sharing in windows (all you have to do is ight click a folder in XP). I use it all the time its a great little APP enjoy.
