My goal is to access C: drive e.g. C:\Temp BUT I don't see it.

You have booted the system with a linux system. Linux and windows have different ways of showing file systems. Things like partition tables, and partitions are similar. You have a hard drive with 4 partitions. The first one looks small, I would bet this will be a recovery partition or possibly diagnostic programs put there by the manufacturer.
Linux is showing you all four partitions. What windows calls C: is where it was installed. It could be any of the other partitions.
Understanding how linux displays partitions and hard drives will help you understanding.
The hard drive is identified as sda, a second drive would be sdb, a third sdc. The number 1 after sda indicates the first partition on the first drive, sda2 is the second partition on sda, and do on.
Since this is Win7, most often the partitions are NTFS file system. Windows uses NTFS and fat file systems. Linux has its own sets of file systems.
In order to mount the file system with linux, you need a driver loaded for that file system.
What exactly is this CD you are using?

Can you provide some information where you got it, name of it, and the release? Since it is a rescue CD, it probably has what you need, but I don't know that from your description.
I would guess sda2 is your C: drive, since it shows the * character.
To mount the drive, you need to create an empty directory first. Don't change into it before you try to mount it. Next, run the mount command.
This command may work:

mount /dev/sda2 /media/windows/

if the rescue CD has the necessary support, and linux can guess the correct file system type.
Once mounted, try changing into the mount point directory, and see if you can see your files.
I see michaelk has explained SFS, didn't know what it was myself. So, let us know how you make out.
