    Hello Barry,
        You have multiple options. Linux believes that the drive is still mounted
    but the XP machine knows nothing about that old connection. You can (as root)
    run umount /path/to/where/you/mounted.

        As an example I mount a shared folder on my wife's XP machine. I use
    smbmount //wildhare/new\ stuff /home/jack/wildhare
    If she reboots before I unmount the drive I have to be careful. Any console
    that is in /home/jack/wildhare or a subfolder will hang if I try to move out of
    there (with a good reason). From any console *not* in /home/jack/wildhare I can
    run (as root) umount /home/jack/wildhare
    If there is a console (or any program) that has the mounted filesystem as its
    current directory you will get an error telling you that it is in use. You can
    find out what/who is using it by running fuser -v /home/jack/wildhare. You can
    force it to unmount by running umount -f /home/jack/wildhare.

    The other option is to kill the smbmount process. ps aux|grep smbmount to find
    its pid.

    I hope this helps,
    Jack Zielke
