I run Linux 12 through a VM (lousy UEFI), on a windows 8 laptop.
I would like to access a windows directory (already set to share on the windows side), through Ubuntu.
I don't want to move it, just access it, and use the files there.

sudo mount -t vboxsf your_share_name Destination_mountpoint
And if you want the folder to automatically mount when you start the VM, you can add a line to rc.local- I detail how to do that here.
I get
mount : unknown filesystem type 'vboxsf'
You need to install the VirtualBox Guest Addtions- it's a bunch of kernel modules and other programs. If you take a look at the link I gave you in my previous post, it will explain how to install them.
