I have a wubi install that was originally ubuntu 11.10, but I upgraded manually to 12.04. My question is how to access files on both OS's from either one. When I am in Windows, I can locate the wubi "hard drive" file, but cannot find anything when in Ubuntu.

For Windows, I have Win7 installed.

From Ubuntu you can find the Windows host 'drive' mounted under /host. You can get there by pressing AltF2, entering /host and then CtrlD to bookmark.

From Windows you can use something like http://ext2read.blogspot.com/ to access the root.disk (readonly).

I recommend storing data on /host if you want to access it from Windows. It's safer than storing data on the virtual disk.
