11.2.08How can i view my windows hard drive within a ubuntu 8.04 2nd hard drive?
mgoodchild00 asked:
I have installed Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 on my second hard drive on my laptop. I want to be able to view my music files on my windows vista hard drive from within the Ubuntu hard drive but i cannot find it to view it. Does anybody have any ideas?
abraham ‘a’ isn’t really an answer. Even if you meant ‘a drive’ it still really wouldn’t be an answer

Serious problem with linux. its about rebooting?
Dillon C (who else) asked:
(I am using my moms computer to type this)
I am relatively new to using Linux, and i installed ubuntu on my computer and deleted the windows partition/ part of my 80 gb hard drive. After i installed it, i used it for a while amassing a almost irreplacable (what i mean by irreplaceable is that it would take monthes to make up my music files, Documents, Etc. )collection of stuff. I decided to upgrade from edgy eft, to feisty fawn, in the middle of updating (i was using the update manager) my computer froze, I went to the phone to ask one of my friends who doesnt know how to fix this problem, and while I was away, my little brother came along and pressed the big start button…
when i got back i tried to restart the computer but it says that it couldnt start the x server. and once i go through the trouble shooting process than it says something like it cant find the correct file system, or boot volume.
I have tried many different combinations but it still doesnt work.
I need to find a solution to solving this problem without having to install everything and make everythign again.
Is there somewhere on the net or on a torrent that i can download some stuff onto a cd, or a program , or a command in terminal that i can use to fix this problem.
Wait ill back up a bit.
Sometimes it lets me get into a terminal like interface and the screen is completely black, and The text is white and it allows me to type in commands.
I tried running
sudo apt get install
and than
sudo apt get upgrade
(I am not sure what the command text was but it worked,)
I then restarted the computer to see if it worked and it didnt
Please help
I have given to the community and I think that its time for the community to give back.
Thank You
