If I'm not mistaken, I think you have to install ntfs-3g to be able to read you windows partition.

Scan with antivirus on your c:\? I don't get what you are saying. I mean you can just log in your windows and scan right?

I installed Linux for emergency boot in case something will go wrong with Windows so i can scan for viruses Windows partition and transfer files.

Ok. Please check if you have if ntfs-3g installed in your synaptic.

If not you can try to execute:

sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g

You can then access your windows files and be able to make rescues when your windows partition encounters troubles such as a virus attacks.

Can you also post the output of

fdisk -l  
and 
df -h

-l is a small letter L

FDISK? Why? I don't want to partition my hard drive. I have 2 partitions - C:\ and D:\ where Windows installation is.

I have mounted hard drive, but there is no data that is supposed to be on my Windows 7 partition C:\

I can read that statment in at least 2 ways.
1) C: has data but not what it should have.
2) C: has no data.

I have 2 partitions - C:\ and D:\ where Windows installation is.

Then you are using a live linux cd ? What linux and version ?

What is your knowlege of linux ? That will help in decieding how basic we need to be.

FDISK? Why?

That will help tell us if there is a posible problem with the partition table. If the partitions are NTFS or Faf32, ect.

• I can see on C\: data but not what it should have. I think it is Linux's data and my Windows data is hidden.
• Linux Ubuntu 10.04
• I have 0 knowledge of Linux

you are using a live linux cd ? or did you install it to hdd ?

If you install Ubuntu, then we must see your 'fdisk -l' output. You may have installed linux over your Win 7.

I did not use Linux CD. I installed Ubuntu 10.04 with Wubi. Now my computer is dual-bootable: Windows 7 or Ubuntu.
