Ubuntu sets a random password during installation. Ofcourse, you don't need to
know Root password for administration of Ubuntu!! Use 'sudo', 'gksudo' commands
To create a folder Open the Terminal Window and type:
$ sudo mkdir /mnt/win_c
$ sudo mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c

For copying files use the 'cp' command, for moving files use 'mv command.
Syntax:
cp <source> <destination>
You can use absolute path or relative path. '.' refers to current directory.
Similarly
mv <source <destination>
You can use absolute path or relative path. '.' refers to current directory.
Similarly
If you want to write Windows partition use 'sudo'
For eg.,
$ sudo cp /home/kamal/Docs/*.jpg /mnt/win_d
This copies all the JPEG files in the 'Docs' folder to the D drive (Ofcourse D drive
must be mounted in /mnt/win_d !!)
For editing Root file , use :
$ sudo gedit <path>
