Hi,

open your "home" Folder (Nautilus) and you will see a list of available drive Options on the left Hand side, normally it will be a drive which refers to your Computer model like Asus or HP Compaq if you are trying to access your Windows C: drive!. (This is working on the assumption that you still have Windows installed!.

Hi,

if you wiped Windows without backing up your data first; you have no Windows C: drive!. If you open "home", that is where all your files will be installed if you copy them from a backup medium like a USB stick/External drive.

Just to be clear, Windows is not GNU/Linux and vice versa - they use different filesystems and naming conventions - if you use Wine however there is a 'fake' C drive in there - go to '/home' folder, press Ctrl+ H to see your hidden files and you will see one '.wine' - you may need to run 'Configure Wine' first to get this showing first:
