[SOLVED] Unable to view Windows partition

4mlinuxfaq · 05-29-2016, 02:02 AM

Correction: the liveUSB is currently mounted as sdb1 not sda1

That's all that is visible to me.

sfdisk -l yields 3 partitions:

sda1
sda2
sda3

I can't. Home folder only has:

Desktop which includes a Download and Videos folder
Trash Can
Applications
sdb1 which is the liveUSB

I guess you have no experience with PCManFM :-) Just use green arrows to navigate.

Use green arrows in File Manager (PCManFM) to go to the /mnt folder. You will find your Windows there with full read-write permissions.
