Nas with raspberry pi - how to connect through windows
I have setup a raspberry pi nas and it works nice but I want to share the HDD which is connect via usb to the raspberry pi and not the sd card which is on the raspberry pi. How can I make it ?
I have mount my HDD with sudo mount /dev/sda1 /home/shares/public/disk1
When I tried to add with \raspberrypipublicdisk1 Windows say that he need a username and a password. When I have setup my nas with samba, I have do this : sudo smbpasswd -a pi and I have give the same password that is use for my session. But when i'm on Windows, he tell me that the password is incorect, what should I do ?

Going out on a limb here, but it sounds like you added pi as a samba user without setting pi up as a samba user.
What you should have done:
Add in a user that can access the Pi’s samba shares. Make an account with the username username and the password password. You can make your username and password whatever you wish. To do so type the following commands:
sudo useradd username -m -G users
sudo passwd username
You’ll be prompted to type in the password twice to confirm. After confirming the password, it’s time to add “username” as a legitimate Samba user. Enter the following command (this is what I think you did):
sudo smbpasswd -a username
Enter the password for the account when prompted.
You can now hop onto any Samba-capable machine on your network and test connectivity to the network share.
And here's where I found that info, its the guide I use: Rasp Pi NAS

Oops, sorry, I had a typo. Should have said sudo smbpasswd -a username. I was editing this another source to be more generic and suitable to the scenario.

Because you are now adding the user as a samba user. Previous step creates the user.

Okey but now Windows say me "access denied", username and password are correct but acces is denied. I'm almost sure that it's a problem from the smb.conf file
