In Ubuntu, go to Places, Computer, Filesystem. This will be your Ubuntu partition (assuming you placed /root, /boot, and /home in a single partition). If you don't see any other partitions e.g. "100 GB Media", we can help you mount them so they show up in Nautilus.

There are no other partitions. i wanted it so that the files that i transfer over on cd or dvd can be saved on my other internal harddrive which have a lot more space available.

Get Gparted Live CD and post a screenshot:
http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php
Burn to disk and boot from it.

Your first picture shows only Windows. Your second drive appears empty. Ubuntu is nowhere to be seen.

When i booted from the disc i didnt know what to do, but this is what the screen said:

GNU GRUB version 0.97 (639k lower/3404388k upper memory)

then there was a command prompt, no idea what to enter...


EDIT: i downloaded a earlier version of it and it worked. i took a screenshot, but when i started up ubuntu again, i could not find the screenshot in the 'root' directory.

Try version Gparted-Live-0.3.7-2.iso
At the boot prompt; press 'Enter'
