Here is the Issue... I have Ubuntu 12.04LTS my room mates all have windows 7 computers, I am tired of Burning CD's for them... How do I share my second HDD (Media Drive), that has all the files that always want copies of with them... In a way that they can access them from their Win7 computers?

You can format (or create a new partition) on your second drive to NTFS, which can be
read from / written to reasonably well by both Ubuntu and Windows.

Some basic steps to do that can be found here.

You could set-up a SAMBA file server on your system and then export the entire partition or whatever folders you choose as a share.

It's as easy as

sudo apt-get install samba

and then editing the configuration file /etc/samba/smb.conf

Check out this simple guide. Also it contains links to more in-depth information.
