How do I share a drive so it can be mounted on a computer running Windows 7?

I have a slot machine WinXP SP2 (for various reasons, can not upgrade to SP3). I have a hard drive on I want to be able to mount it as a network drive on another computer. On this other computer, I am using Windows XP. I have accounts of administrator on both machines.

That's what I've tried so far:
-create the second account on the machine Windows XP password, connect you to it
-disable simple sharing
-go to the sharing properties of the disc in quesiton, "share this folder".
-go to permissions, delete "everyone", add "authenticated users".
-"OK".
The tutorial that I read said that the next step is to go to the dialog "Manage my network passwords" on the user accounts page. But this is where I don't know what to fill the boxes with.
-What happens in 'server '?
-What is happening in "User name"? If the Win7 computer I want to ride it the drive in is called "COMP2", and the user on this computer is "User2", could fill this box with 'COMP2\User2 '?
-J' I create a password, or use the account that I connect with ("user2")?
Once done, what are the steps to set up the computer to Win7?
Thank you!
