How to do Mac OS Finder tasks?

[rccharles]

Tried to use Ubuntu 11.4 to assist in recovering a windows xp system. Ran from cd without installing. Failure.

Could not find Windows hd. How do I list all storage media. Where is the Mac OS Finder/Windows explorer?

Could not find Terminal. Ran search, but seems limited to just your user data. How do I do a search for the terminal applications.

Did get some worthless display of all installed programs, but could not launch application.

Is there a way of switching the old User Interface from the running from CD version?

Either click the top icon on the launcher bar or hold Super+1. The file browser will open; on the left hand side will be a list which will have the windows hd in it. Click to mount it.

Press the Super key and start typing "terminal". Press enter or click on the icon when it appears.

Press Alt+F2. Type "gnome-panel". A new panel with a conventional menu appears.

Thanks.

How would I go about changing back to the old GUI in 11.4 ?
