Try this:

1. Open Docker Quickstart Terminal. If it is already open, run $ cd ~ to make sure you are in Windows user directory.
2. $ docker run -it -v /$(pwd)/ubuntu:/windows ubuntu

It will work if the error is due to typo. You will get an empty folder named ubuntu in your user directory. You will see this folder with the name windows in your ubuntu container.
