How to access files on Windows7

[DaComboMan]

Dual boot with Windows7 is going just fine.

Can't seem to find the folder with all my data files on Windows 7 (when working in Ubuntu of course). Anyone know where it could be?

This is a vague question and my answer might be too simplistic, but...

If I go to my "Places" pull-down menu, I have an entry for my Windows XP NTFS drive (in my case, labeled C_DRIVE) as well as an entry for "Computer" that I can use to navigate to the Windows drive.

If you've already gotten to your Windows 7 drive from Ubuntu and can't find your data, from the "Go" pull-down menu in the File Browser window you can select "Search for Files..." and try to locate it from there.

Or, you can boot into Windows and locate the data files, then boot into Ubuntu and navigate to them.

Good Luck.

how did you install ubuntu, inside windows (wubi) or separate partition?
if you used wubi look for the windows files in file system /host

Make sure you don't use disk encryption on windows .

@gandaran,

You hit right on! Thank you!

I knew they were out there somewhere...


Thanks for the others too for showing some care to an eternal newbie to WUBI!
