Gaining access to Linux Mint files

Updated 11. January 2009 - 16:45 by tony

I have been experimenting with Linux and the latest one is Mint.  After a few weeks it has become like all the others I have tried, gone into silly mode.  In other words the Linux bugs have defeted me.  Yeh, I have no idea what I am doing to a point but I like to see how things tick and try different combinations etc, Linux hates it and usually throws a wobbly and it has done in this case.  I thought I was doing well with this, but I can't gain access, it only opens up to a comand basis that asks me for my name and password.  Thats it!!  I need to gain access therefore, from XP to the drive and dig out some files, but XP doesn't want to see that drive.  Has anyone any ideas on how to over come this and gain access to these files?

I have asked on Linux forums but I have had no answers.

Thanks

Tony

try simply mepis. works good out of the box and you can use synaptic package manager to download and install a large number of tools,apps,utilities and games

AH dealt with. I was adviced to access it with a CD linux and used Puppy Linux to achieve my goal.
