Greetings....from linux!

Running Fedora Core 5 right now. Can you guys recommend me a good program for viewing other partitions on the hard disk and the files in them?

What is wrong with Nautilus? If you want a simple fast one there is Midnight Commander (MC).

Where are the other hard drives? Under which folders...everything I seem to look for doesn't lead there.

I  basically think I'm blind here....

Code: [Select]
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
LABEL=/boot             /boot                   ext3    defaults        1 2
devpts                  /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
tmpfs                   /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0
proc                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0
sysfs                   /sys                    sysfs   defaults        0 0
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap                    swap    defaults        0 0

I'm trying to get to the equivalent of Microsoft's "Drive C:" or basically the first partition on my hard drive.

Pants.  You're using the Logical Volume Manager.  I have no experience of that.  How many partitions are there on this hard drive?  (You can use cfdisk to provide partition information.)

Any ideas, Mark?

Well....I had my primary partition for windows when I got the computer, then i made two more....the linux partition and the swap partition. That's all I know of.

Nevermind, got it to work.....used ntfsmount (since Fedora doesn't support ntfs) and I mounted it and it all came to me......sorry I didn't google in the first place, I thought the answser would be simpler.

Support for NTFS partitions for Linux is currently at the beta stage, so be careful.
