Need help on filesystem and basic commands

[cliffhanger]

Good day guys!

Last time, i made a post here was about my RH 9.0 which turn out to be an outdated one. Thanks to your sound advise i was able to download and install ubuntu on my HW.

Got a few questions on these:

I have a pre-installed windows with applications and im dual booting it with the ubuntu. Originaly disc partition(from Windows) was 40GB windows and 60 free space. So upon installation of ubuntu on the partitioning portion, i selected that the free space will be utilized and result after ubuntu was successfully installed is.

filesystem -> (not stated)
disc1 -> 60gb

Is my 40GB consumed in the filesystem?
Disc1 (60gb) contains all the files on the window system, and still the windows applications runs smoothly.
If im going to install linux applications, to where storage destinations will it be installed in the file system or to my disc1?

and also, i been googling a lot for what "terminal" command that change from drive to another. I'v already exhaused "cd" "ls" and "dir" but it will only navigate within the default media. Its more like what the command for transfer from usb drive to my rom drive to my hard drive using the terminal window.


Thank u so much for reading my inquiries...

No. Ubuntu automounts Windows OS partitions for data sharing. Check /media folder.
Post the output of this

sudo fdisk -l
df -h

Softwares installation is different in Linux and Windows OS. You dont have to specify install location because different types of files are stored in different places. Check here.

First of all, check linuxcommand.org.
