How to see the other partition?

Hey to all!

KDE Plasma 5.27.5
Q4OS Aquarius latest edition.

I installed Q4OS next to Windows using Windows installer. All is fine, great system!

However, the folder (Sdb2) where Windows is rested was already a small partition of about 200 GB. The bigger chunk of the SSD drive is actually another partition ( D:) which is empty. I want to put my files in D: and use them when necessary.

I can not see D: with Dolphin file manager. (Maybe it does, but, I don't know how). Is it possible to access the other partition when you install the OS right next to Windows?

Thanks in advance

Yes, it's just another partition, so you only need to mount it. If it's NTFS partition:
$ sudo mkdir /mnt/windows
$ sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /mnt/windows
As a regular user to a /media subdirectory
$ udisksctl mount -b /dev/sdc1

Re: How to see the other partition?

Hi, I also did a Q40s installation but to an SSD from HDD
My question is if I should be alert in case the wubi installer fails?
My Windows was left on the HDD and my Q40s was on the SSD.
