SOLVED Access data partitions in Mint

[77yearold]

I really like Mint and I should have asked this question when I first installed, but thought I could figure it out. So much for an almost 80 year old comprehension.
The question is I have 2 data partitions that I access in Ubuntu by Nautilus and in Debian by Home. So what must I do in order to have icons to these 2 partitions on mint desktop.

Thank you

You can use nautilus in Linux Mint also. Nautilus is still the default file manager in Mint I believe. If you have any issues mounting the partitions, then you might be able to --force mount them through the terminal; however, we would need to know the filesystem type to figure out the right command.

Can you drag and drop the mounted partitions (that you are accessing) via nautilus onto your user Desktop
--or you would have to auto mount them via /etc/fstab to have them always available to you

• You don't say that you have to mount them when accessing, so I will presume they are already available in /etc/fstab

You can also drag and drop sub-directories (folders) from those mounted file-systems onto your desktop, quite easily
