cannot access windows files and folders

Did you install using Wubi (installed in Windows) or did you resize your NTFS and install to the freed space?

Can you give the output of:

sudo fdisk -l; lsb_release -a; uname -a; mount

Thanks

I installed via windows installer

tried running that command in windows command line and the result is it isnt recognized as an internal or external command

If you run:

file /host

Does it state it is a folder?

ran it with the run tool in windows nothing happened am i suppose to dpo it running the ubuntu os?

Run it in a terminal. You can run a terminal by pressing CTRL+ALT+T

tried that same thing, is there a specific file you want me to look for? cause i can do that through the c drive.
These command line commands aren't returning any results just the generic windows does not recognize this an an external or internal command

There is no 'C drive' in Linux, its a Windows construt.

Can you run:

sudo fdisk -l; lsb_release -a; uname -a; mount; file /host

in the terminal, copy ALL the output and paste the text here as an update

Thanks

actionparsnip means for you to run the commands in the ubuntu OS ;)

just rebooted into ub unto and ran the command and here is the output
