    Red face Linux - Windows - Linux

    Hi,
    I'm very new to Linux, (and love it!) I have Win7 on my laptop, and my son has installed Linux with Ubuntu 11.04 which I find great. He has now gone back to his family and left me to make my way around Linux on my own! I would now like to access my docs library, in Windows, from Ubuntu. Is this possible, or even better - easy? I will need very simple instructions but willing to have a go!!

    Can other libraries be accessed in the same way?

    I would be most grateful for any help.

    You should be able to access documents and Ubuntu may already be setup to do this for you ...
    open a terminal and type
    Code:
    mount
    and post the output here

    Lot's of good tips here for a new user. The section for your query is covered I think in http://www.techsupportalert.com/cont...System-Startup

    Edit: Follow Jonathan183 post above mine. Since i am not sure if you are running Gnome Classic or Unity Deskktop.

    Thank you both so much. I have printed out the instructions and am about to see if I can make them work!! I have the Unity Desktop (I think). I will come back if I come up with any more problems, but the techsupportalert.com website seems great.

    Many thanks again,
