Ubuntu Drive Info
I downloaded the install Ubuntu and it loaded in my second drive without any hassels. The office programs and the other included software run very well. My problem is trying to find something like Microsoft Explorer with drive and file info. The dual bootup also has run without any problem. Windows Explorer does not see the second drive now that I have loaded Unbuntu and I have not been able to find the way to get to the same info when I am in Ubuntu.
Anyone have a suggestion? My system is a homebuilt AlthonXP 2500 ASUS A7N8X Mobo 512 dual channel ram A couple of CD Rom Drives All-In-Wonder ATI vidio card w/TV

Are you looking for harddrive info? Goto Applications>System Tools>System Monitor and then click on the Resources tab. Underneath the graphs it shows your harddrive partitions and used and unused space.

I found the drive info as you suggested but can't find files as you would with Windows Explore. Suppose I want to format the second drive, how would I do that?

The file structure in linux is different than windows so viewing files as you would with windows explorer is a bit different. To view files click on Places at the top of the screen and then click on Computer in the drop down menu, then you will be able to navigate through your files. If you are trying to view files from a windows partition you will need to mount it. I can post on how to make ubuntu automatically mount the windows partition on bootup if you need.

I am unsure what you are asking, but if you need a file manager, Nautilus is the one for Gnome. KDE's Konquer is better, but you use what you got!
