Keller, TX | Ubuntu newb question I've never used Linux before - just installed Ubuntu on one my laptop using the Win installer.
My laptop right now has:
-64GB SSD (pretty ful)
-500GB HDD
I installed Ubuntu on the HDD. At the Ubuntu desktop it sees the SSD Windows system drive and the HDD except only the folder it's installed in. What it didn't see was the rest of the HDD it's intalled on (the rest of the NTFS drive). It seemed like it considers the whole drive the 20GB "Folder" I told it to make and install to during the installation.
I couldn't figure out how to get it to see the rest of the HDD after playing around for awhile and looking at google. Also, would it have been better to create a separate partition on the HDD, or does it even matter?
Nice OS though - I'm impressed.
Thanks! |

kudos:1 | I'm not sure if I understand this correctly. You have Windows on your SSD, and you used Wubi (the install in windows option) but chose to install Ubuntu on your 500GB hard drive. Is that right?
If that's it, then there should be a way to access your Windows files. Normally when you do a full install of Ubuntu, your partition will show up in the file manager's sidebar. I think when you use Wubi, it shows up as a folder in the root of the filesystem instead. Go to your file manager (nautilus), click on "/" (that's the root of your file system), and I think you're looking for a folder called "host". Try that. |
