    You have to mount Windows OS partitions in Linux. Open Terminal and execute this
    Code:
    su -
fdisk -l
    Post output here.

    * Its small L in fdisk -l.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Hi, Buddy
    It depends on file system
    which file system u r using in windows
    FAT or NTFS
    for both file system u need to mount the partition by using mount command
    In RHEL FAT doesnot require any package but for NTFS u need to install NTFS package then u can mount NTFS partion.
    Now go ahead and open windows partition
