In the "system administration" area click on the "Disk and Filesystems" icon
This will show you all detected drives and partitions in your system
It will also show you which ones are mounted and/or enabled
If your Ubuntu partition is not mounted/enabled hit the "administrator mode" button and typr your password,
You will see buttons along the bottom of the window
NEW | MODIFY | DELETE | ENABLE | DISABLE | DETAILS
Click on the drive or partition you want to get at and make the required changes using the options along the bottom.
If your drive is mounted and enabled but you are denied access to it, you can change access permissions in the "Modify" feature.

556783 2007-06-07 21:34:00 Was it Kubuntu 7.04?
If so the "/" root partition is hidden ( for some strange reason )
You can still get to it by typing the path into the konqueror address bar but the file browser will not "show" it to you.. annoying yes.
I suppose they hide it so as to stop n00bs from damaging the system - a bad idea IMO - the whole idea of linux (for me at least ) was to learn, often by making mistakes......
