How to access my D drive

[skateboard34]

I just installed the latest version of Ubuntu and I'm new to Linux. The only drive I can access from the file manager in Ubuntu is my C: drive which is almost out of space. That's not the problem. The problem is that I need to access my D: drive which has a lot more space on it. The only time I was ever able to access it in Linux was in Amarok when I was importing music files. I would really appreciate some help. Thanks.

There is no C: and D: drive in linux.
There are mountpoints.

Can you please paste the output of

fdisk -l
and 
mount

I just pasted your code into the terminal and this was my output:

The program 'and' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install and
colin@ubuntu:~$ mount

Slight mix up there...
It should have been 2 separate commands.

sudo fdisk -l

and

mount

Since we already have the mount info, just post the other one.

you can also install pysdm to manage how your partitions mount.

Here is the output of sudo fdisk -l:

You only have one drive, with several partitions on it. It appears that the second partition, sda2, is the boot partition, which Windows calls C:. Probably sda3, the second partition, is what Windows calls D:, but I can't guarantee that. I have no idea where Ubuntu is, since all the partitions are NTFS, not Linux filesystems. If you used wubi to install Ubuntu, which puts it inside Windows, I can't help you, since I've never seen the sense of doing that.
