How can I access the files under MS Windows7 on my computer?

Do you mean you dual boot and you want access to the NTFS partition in your system??

Yes

You wrote a lot of extra fluff for what I said in a few words. Please bear this in mind in future questions

Can you please give the output of:

lsb_release -a; sudo parted -l; mount

Thanks

Ok I see you are using Wubi (sigh). You can access your Windows data via the folder:

/host

You can make this easier by running:

ln -s /host ~/Windows\ Stuff

If you open your home folder you will see a folder named "Windows Stuff" and your Windows partition data will be there.

Many Thanks. I assume wubi came with the new UBUNTU version for 64 bit.

Its another way to install Ubuntu. It isn't a very good long term solution and the performance of Ubuntu is directly impacted by the shortcomings of NTFS, Mainly fragmentation which a TRUE install does not suffer from.

Does the link show your data?

Yes, thank you.
