Browsing and reading my old windows-files

[gt111]

Hi,
I installed Zorin 16 but have no dual-boot-system.
Something went wrong while the installation.
At least the Zorin-System is running very good with all programs, which I need.
I have an HP Pavilion.

Is there any chance to browse or read my old windows-files,
I think they are on my sda8 (ext4), see the uploaded pic.
Thanks a lot for some hints.

Your old Windows file will be on NTFS format and not EXT4. sda8 is your Zorin OS system is installed.

Hi,
I tested some things, and now I can browse my old files, see pic:

I hope to repair my system soon;

With Winetricks (Work around problems and install applications under Wine) I can explore, browse and read the most of my old files again.
The path then is: /(root) media/mustermann/Windows1: there are all files of the formerly C:drive. My prob is solved.

Please ensure that you have ntfs-3g package installed.

sudo apt install --reinstall ntfs-3g

With that package, you should not need Wine or Winetricks in order to browse files that are stored on an NTFS formatted drive.

Thanks for the info;

A few photos are gone, some backups I have reinstalled, my Tomtom Start 20 I can't update. All other things are running very good with the new Zorin system.
