I think if you installed with wubi your windows drive should auto mount at /host just open a file manager hit ctrl+l to enter the location bar then type /host in, that should show you your files

Oh sorry, reading back your question I should have realised that there were multiple drives. Try opening up disk utility (just search it in the dash) then looking in the side bar for the other drives. Click on one of them then click mount volume, this should get you your other drives

In the disk utility there are three partitions 245 GB NTFS (which is already mounted) , 236 GB unknown ( how to mount this one , there is no option to mount this ) and 3.9 GB NTFS new volume( mounting this gives error).

They are partitions, not drives. Even if a drive has a single drive with one partition using all the space, you still mount the partition. Windows incorrectly names partitions as drives. In windows if you have a single drive and partition it into 2 parts it will show you 'c drive' and 'd drive' even though there is only one drive, just 2 partitions. It confuses users when they come to an OS which names them correctly.

Can you give the output of:

sudo fdisk -l; lsb_release -a

Thanks

Ok well the only partition not mounted is /dev/sda3

Try:

sudo mkdir /media/sda3
sound mount /dev/sda3 /media/sda3
nautilus /media/sda3 &

You can now access the data

it says

No command 'sound' found, did you mean:
 Command 'pound' from package 'pound' (universe)
 Command 'stund' from package 'stun' (universe)
 Command 'csound' from package 'csound' (universe)
sound: command not found

I think action parsnip may have misstyped the sound bit, try replacing the first word (sound) with sudo

Can you help with this problem?
