Please use the latest version of Raspbian available. Download Raspbian here.

Once Samba has finished installing, run the following command to open the Samba config file.

sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf

Then scroll to the bottom of the file and paste the following:

[media]
 comment=/media
 path=media

 directory mask=0777

The last step when setting up Samba it to set a password for your user.
Use the following command to set the password for the user pi.

sudo smbpasswd -a pi

Once finished, reboot your Pi using:

sudo reboot
