Network -> Windows network is for when you have more than 1 computer and 1 of them is a Windows system. You can connect those 2 systems and copy things over using that connection. An example where you have a network would be: Desktop with Ubuntu <-> router <-> notebook with Windows.

This has -no- relation with a dual boot system since a dual system only supports 1 OS at a time.

What you need to do is mount your Windows disc. Example:

  • That's what worked for me when I installed 13.04. I did nothing else. 2 things: 32 bit so not 64 bits and Windows 7 so not 8. But... both differences do not matter :)
