Don't understand question.
If you search where ":C" drive is, go to "$HOME/.wine".

Hello Vishnu,

Normally wine stores all data in your home directory, but because it is a special folder, i.e. it is ".wine" you can't see it in file manager. Try to open Terminal window and type:

cd ~/.wine

and afterwards type:

ls -la

If you want to use console based file manager like Far Manager in Windows you can install Midnight Commander using terminal:

sudo apt-get install mc

It is very useful to quickly copy / navigate to files.

 /lost+found, is a directory in Linux, for files recovered after improper shutdown

you need to use nautilus as super user to access to that dir

alt+f2 on an empty desktop and then type: gksudo nautilus
