Hello Benjamin,
I didn't create partions while installing Ubuntu in Windows, did side by side
installation. Output is right here for analysis.
mwebaze@ubuntu:~$ mount
/dev/loop0 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro,commit=600)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw)
none on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw)
none on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw)
udev on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=0620)
tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,size=10%,mode=0755)
none on /run/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,size=5242880)
none on /run/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)
/dev/sda2 on /host type fuseblk
(rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other,blksize=4096)
binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc
(rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/mwebaze/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon
(rw,nosuid,nodev,user=mwebaze)
None of us is as smart as all of us

Hi Nelson,
I think we need to clarify some things. There are no Windows wireless drivers
in the Ubuntu Software Centre. The package to which I was referring is a
firmware package which is needed for the kernel driver to work properly. Due to
licensing restrictions, these files cannot be included on the Ubuntu CD, hence
the extra installing step. The package may download some Windows packages to
extract the files needed, but those files are operating system independent.
Also, I think some of your partitions may be of the wrong type. That is, they
are marked as NTFS but formatted as something else. This is relatively
harmless, if a bit confusing, understandably. I think that upon running the
command "mount" in the terminal you will find that far from all of your
partitions are formatted as NTFS.
