Hello again Robert
So I think youve probably done the 'default layout'. That is fine.
Ubuntu accesses your files like this:
/dev/hda5 (your harddrive, a file) is mounted to a folder (something 
like /media/datafiles/ for example). The question is: Does Ubuntu mount 
your partition automaticly? type 'sudo mount' to look if its mounted. 
Good luck!
