The other PC must "share" its hard disk somehow (all or just a part) as a network drive.
The second step is to mount the external share on the Linux box.
By "mounting" you attach the external share to the local file system of the Linux server.
Look or tutorials on the web on how to do this.

on Linux SABnzbd runs as root (i think) you should be able to create a local account on your windows system called root with the same password to allow SABnzbd to write to your shared drive

Hai
the problem is that when i file in the windows network share (lets say smb://windows/downloads ) then it just create's a directory with that name in my home folder on ubuntu.
so actually that is the reall big problem, is there a workaround???

Some good reading here; for the mounting part the post on the ubuntu forum is very much step by step.
