More information about apt-get install. Advanced Package Tool, or APT, is a free software user interface that works with core libraries to handle the installation and removal of software on Debian, Ubuntu and other Linux distributions.
I have booted using an Ubuntu Live CD as my Vista installation hangs after startup, I want to try and copy all files on the drive to an external drive.
The internal drive was partitioned so in vista I had C: and D:, Ubuntu can see all the files on drive D:
Install Testdisk Ubuntu Live Cd
But on drive C: all I can see are a few folders such as Boot, $Recycle
C: should have Windows folders and a few documents, why can I not see these inside Ubuntu?
Install Testdisk Ubuntu 17.10

Linux Testdisk
It seems that your C: drive filesystem is corrupted. Try to boot up with a windows rescue usb or cd, and do a chkdsk on that drive. You can use yumi to create such a rescue usb, for example. However, if rescue is your only concern, you may want to dd that entire partition into an image file somewhere else just in case.
there are many other alternatives for checking/rescuing windows (I am assuming it is ntfs) partitions you can search for.
