How to transfer files from Windows 7 to Linux Ubuntu?

Solution 1:

In Ubuntu:

  1. Mount the Windows partition (it mounts automatically when you click on it).
  2. Open the Windows partition and browse to the folder you want to copy/move to.
  3. Drag the folder/files you want to their new destination.

Note: You can copy files/folders in any way you want to, both to and from Ubuntu.

Solution 2:

If you have installed Ubuntu with Wubi (How to tell if Ubuntu is installed inside or alongside Windows?) then go to /host. Your Windows data files are in /host/Users/%username%/"
