I've installed Ubuntu along with Windows 8. For that, I had to convert all of my hard drives from dynamic to basic. However, I did not face any problem in installing Ubuntu and it got successfully installed. But when I opened Windows, it was not showing any of the hard-drives apart from C (in which Windows is installed). Now, Ubuntu is showing all of my hard-drives and their data but I am not able to find my data and hard-drives in Windows. What should I do ?

  • This is to be expected - Ubuntu runs with the EXT4 (or EXT3) file system, which Windows does not support at all apart from using some special programs. See also http://askubuntu.com/questions/9933/how-to-read-ext4-partitions-in-windows (possible duplicate) – Jez W Feb 25 '14 at 17:04
  • ex2read is not working . It is asking me to make sure that i am running the application as an administrator . – Deepak Feb 25 '14 at 17:18
  • Yes, it needs to be run under an administrative account. Right-click it and choose "run as administrator". – Jez W Feb 25 '14 at 17:22
  • Does it work on windows 8 too ? Because i've read that it does not and also it really is not working for me . All it's showing is only C drive's data and not other's. – Deepak Feb 25 '14 at 17:38
  • [Edit] your question and include the output of sudo parted --list and remember that windows isn't able to read linux partitions... – Braiam Feb 25 '14 at 18:12

You can't able to view Ubuntu partitions(ext4,ext3) on Windows.

See this question for how to read ext4 partitions in Windows.
