I'm currently in windows 8, and I'm able to see my 3 main partitions.
But I don't understand why I can see the 1 TB partition in windows, but not in LMDE.
Also, the 50GB partition on my SSD appears to be empty, but I installed the "/" folder on that.
"/home" should be installed on the 1TB, but isn't visible.

/dev/sda6 is mounted as /, that is the linux root filesystem.
/dev/sda7 is mounted as /home, and is a 1TB filesystem. What do you mean by "isn't visible"?

sorry, that is not enough. For example what will say:
ls -la /home
df /home
(also try them as root)

sorry, df -hT would give better result. Also please execute the command mount (just without any argument). I think /home is not mounted.
Than you can try sudo mount /home, but in that case your home dir /home/ignace will disappear. (I suggest you to use another mount point: modify /home, use for example /windows and also execute mkdir -p /windows before mount - as root). And probably the mount command will drop an error message too. (repeat the mount command)

Update:

Been searching around for the problem. Opened gparted and noticed that the 1TB HDD partition wasn't even mounted!
After some research I figured out that this was because of the partition still being used by win8.1.
I had to disable "fast boot" in windows, that way the partition was completely left alone.

So I reinstalled LMDE, but when I logged in, I got an eror saying that I don't have permissions on the /home/users/.dmrc file.
This is because the partition is ntfs ain't it ?
So what can I do to resolve this, I can't write permissions to a ntfs-partition.
So should I convert the partition to exfat ? If this is even possible ofcouse.

And thank for all the help, it helped me look in the right direction.

Goodmorning everyone,

Sorry it took so long to answer, been kinda busy.

@pan64, I understood your solution and am very grateful you posted it, but since I clean installed LMDE, I no longer need to mount it no ?
The only thing that I cannot figure out is how to share files between windows & LMDE.

Windows is installed on 60GB SSD partition
LMDE installed on SSD (both root & home on seperate 25GB SSD partition)

Now, how can I move the user files from /home to the 1TB HDD ?
I know how to do this on windows, but I cannot figure it out on LMDE.
I was thinking about using links, but that would just make it copy the file from /home (on SSD) to another map on the 1TB, thus leaving the file on the SSD and still taking place on the SSD.

Again, sorry for my english, it can be confusing at times.
Anyway, thanks alot for all the help !
