I have tried the tutorials on the web but I am a TOTAL NEWB to linux, so some clear instructions on how to access my windows files would be much appreciated
P.S. Right now I'm in Terminal, as that's where I got confused before lol...
Using the terminal is probably the hardest way for a NEWB to access windows files. THere are gui ways to do it like using Konqueror, or Dolphin, depending on which distro you are using.
To help you with clear instructions it would help if we knew which version of linux you are using, how is your dual boot setup (one hard drive with partitions; 2 hard drives); what do you want to do with the windows files( copy, delete, run ).
Good luck
well you might need root permissions (since its another drive or partition), depending on what distro your using that might be sudo or su
then you need to know what your hard drive is...it will be mounted in /dev/
and might look something like hda or hd1 and you need to use cd to work your way in to the folder so an example might look like this:
sudo cd /dev/hda/Users/MyName/Documents
remember linux and *nix in general is case sensitive so if you don't capitalize what should be, it won't work
also if your not sure what directory comes next you can use the command dir or ls to show you what is in the directory your currently in
