it is located in /host folder.

Go to the 'file system' then you will find host directory. It contains all the files of windows.

You can find very detailed instructions here. Alternatively, try these solutions:

solution. Install a program called ntfs-config, either from Ubuntu software centre, or by typing
```
sudo apt-get install ntfs-config
```
Run that program, select the disk to mount.
solution, using command line:

First, find out what the ID of your NTFS disk is. Run this program from command line:
```
sudo blkid
```
That will a line for each partition, showing the volume UUID as well as the format. One of these should have the format "ntfs". This is your Windows partition. Now run
```
udisks --mount /dev/disk/by-uuid/XXXXX
```
where XXXXX is the UID of your Windows partition.
solution, mounting automatically at boot time: read this answer.

Please, however, note that you cannot mount hibernated Windows partitions.

Do not hesitate to come back if you have problems with any of these.
