When I type the second command it says "only root can do that"

If I type su it asks for my password but then says "su: Authentification failure" - but when I use sudo for other things, I use the same password without issue?

If I try it with the sudo command it just lists the parameters for the mount command and doesn't even ask for my password

I typed this:

sudo mount -t smbfs //DESKTOPPC/My Documents /WindowsShare -o username=(the username that appears when I log in to XP as admin),password=(the password I type when I log in)

Where DESKTOPPC is the full computer name and My Documents is the shared 'my documents' folder on my XP desktop

Is that right?
