Wubi

can't access windows 7 partition

Asked by Kym Zeeee

Duel boot - running windoze 7 & Ubuntu 10.10 (installed within windows partition).
When running Ubuntu, I cannot access the partition containing windows 7 & all my files used within windows. I can access the "HP Tools" partitions, but not the main windows one.
Any ideas?

You said you installed Ubuntu within the Windows partition, which indicates to me that you used Wubi. In that case, your Windows partition is accessible inside the folder called /host.

Solutions provided by Eliah Kagan really works. I tried to access files on windows 7 partition under the /host folder and all my files stored under ntfs partition can be accessed there.
