How to see non Ubuntu partitions on hard drive

[Docfxit]

I have a multi boot PC. Ubuntu is on one of the partitions and has no free space. I have another partition on the hard drive. How can I see the other partition to copy some files to it?

I have tried:
df -h
That shows me:
/dev/sda2

So I know Ubuntu is in the second partition.
I tried
CD /dev/
It says CD command not found.
It's running ver. 7.1

Thanks,

Docfxit

You need to mount them to first. There are various ways to mount partitions

btw the CD command is

 $ cd /dev
$ ls

Alternatively, you could grab the UUID for the partition, add it to your fstab and mount on boot up.

First you're going to want to make a mount directory preferably in /media. Some like it in /mnt its all preference.
For this Ill use /media with the mount point /Windows adsda

1:

$ sudo mkdir /media/Windows

2:

$ sudo blkid

3:copy the UUID with in the quotation marks of the partition your want to mount.

4:

$ sudo gedit /ect/fstab

5:add line

#Windows Partition 
UUID=insert UUID                     /media/Windows      ntfs  defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 0

6:Save,exit or go to Terminal press ctrl+c

7:

$ Sudo reboot

usually all drives show up in the Filemanagers righthand panel, and you can mount them by simply klciking on them. Does this work?

I set terminal to root and then CD started working. This is what I got:

When I open the file manager that I normally use (Double Commander - Root Privileges) it shoes sda1 on the top. When I select it I get a message saying "Disk is not available"
I believe that is the first partition. How can I make it available?

Thanks,

Linux is case-sensitive, so use cd not CD.

sudo fdisk -l

will show all hard disks and their partitions.

Thank you for all your instructions. I have followed all your instructions. After re-booting I now see a drive called Windows. When I select it I get "Disk is not available"

Thank you,

I don't have any space to install the program pysdm.

I keep deleting files but no free space is showing. Does the deleted files go to a recycle bin and that's why deleting files doesn't free up space? How can I clean out the recycle bin?

I used this to clean it out:

There wasn't anything in there.
