hi members..

i am not getting a file over my system that use to be there..

i had downloaded a file on the partition where linux ubuntu is installed..

and then i moved the file from the linux system volume to drive c:..

after that i opened the windows but cant find the file there in drive c:.

i dont know where it has gone..

can someone guide me to fetch the file back

Try:

its not in the partition where linux is installed..

its in the partition where vista is installed...

and i dont know thw whole file name ,,i know half of it,,

so do u think this will work

If your vista partition is mounted in Linux then ye it will work.

ya it is mounted..lets see..
do i have to give the full file name

ya thats working..
but how i can enter to the drive c: through terminnal as i hav to search in that drive..

Where is vista mounted on your Mint filesystem? Do you have a windows directory in the root drive: /windows?, do you have it mounted under the /mnt directory: /mnt/windows? Do you call it something else? Do you remember where you copied it to on your windows partition? The root of your partitiion: c:\ or somewhere else?

i copied that to directly drive c:.but in linux its mount point is sda4
