Disk access/permission problem

Discs seem to mount differently in 16.04 compared to 12.04. In 12.04
they were mounted as /media/disk name but in 16.04 they mount as
/media/user/disk name. I'm trying to access, from other boxes, a disk
mounted internally that mounts as above. Originally I used the same
samba .conf file I used in 12.04. In 12.04 this worked for both
Windows and Linux boxes.
I adjusted the mount location in the new samba file, but the disk was
not accessible from either Windows or Linux boxes. I got complaints
about permissions, so temporarily I changed the permissions for the
entire disk to everyone can read/write, and allowed guest sharing for
all parts of the disc. This still did not work. I saw a suggestion on
net to use "force user = username" in an article regarding Windows
access. I added that, but still no access via Windows. But, the Linux
box could now see the disk, so it seemed to help something. It did
change the Windows error message from "no permission" to "not
accessible", but I don't know what that change implies.
I did change the password on the 16.04 box - don't know if that would
make a difference. The current set of samba parameters is below. I
would appreciate any suggestions that might help diagnose this or fix
it.
