You can see your c partition in the directory which named host inside root directory. Please try this command in terminal;

nautilus /host &

You can view this directory with your nautilus (ubuntu explorer).

Hope this helps...

Sorry I forgot to write how you can add it to your locations. First open the .gtk-bookmarks file;

gedit $HOME/.gtk-bookmarks & (write this command in terminal)

Add the following line to last of the file, then save this file.
file:///host

After that you should see the contents of your C Drive. Hope this helps..

Way 1:
-----------
Select Applications - Accessories - Terminal or press Ctrl-Alt-T button. You see the terminal, then write the following command;

gedit $HOME/.gtk-bookmarks &

after that, you can see your .gtk-bookmarks file. Copy and paste the following line to the last line of the .gtk-bookmarks file, than save and close the gedit.

file:///host

After that you should see the contents of your C Drive.

Way 2:
-----------

Another way is, open your ubuntu explorer (nautilus) go to your home directory, than press Ctrl-H buttons to see hidden files (the file which have got a dot is a hidden file). After that you should see .gtk-bookmarks file, double click it and insert the following line at the and of the file and save it.

file:///host

Hope this helps...
