drive

I'm n00ber than any n00b you ever seen, so bear with me... I just downloaded wubi and installed ubuntu 12.10 along with Windows 7 on the same HDD. Linux works fine, but doesnt show files from drive C (on which it is installed). I really need C as it contains all my files. I did df -h in the terminal. It does show the drive.

/dev/sda2 577G 220G 358G 38% /host

Now I tried to mount the drive

sudo mount /dev/sda2

and got the response

mount: /dev/sda2 already mounted or /host busy
mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda2 is already mounted on /host

I dont know what that means. The drive doesnt show up in HOME FOLDER.
What am i supposed to do now?

How will people upgrade from 12.10 to 14.04 after 13.04 is EOL?

as seen on Ask Ubuntu - Search for 'Ask Ubuntu'
Looking at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases 13.04 will reach EOL in January 2014, while 12.10 will reach EOL in April 2014, therefore if a 12.10 user hasn't upgraded to 13.04 and subsequently to 13.10, there will be a 3 month period where a 12.10 user has a supported version of Ubuntu, but will be… >>> More
