ubuntu alongside win7

Question

I have two hard drives, one where win7(C) is installed and the other ubuntu 12.04(D). I cant find the other files on D like movies and etc using ubuntu but i do find them running win7. How can I find the files running ubuntu whithout having to copy them over to C?

Answer 1

Maybe your partition isn't mounted on your Ubuntu system. Type

sudo fdisk -l

and there you can show all partition table, types, sizes. You can mount using

sudo mount /dev/sdXX

where XX is number of partion (eg. sda5).

After you mount partion you can access all files from it.
