So I installed The 809 & The Bank but I cannot find them on my PC at all. I'm running windows 8. How do I locate them? Also, on my friends laptop we were messing around with the expansions and tried loading some samples but it wouldn't open them. Even when we did track type "plugin" it still wouldn't allow for the samples to be loaded. Please help.

I'm having the same problem, all of the stock MPC sounds and expansions don't work for me, but all my old .wav drum kits work fine.

The MPC expansion files don't even play when I double click on the file, windows media player says the files can't be played. And when I load up a plugin like The Wub or The 809 I can see the actual plugin interface inside the MPC software but it can't play any sounds.

The expansions are plugins, you load them on a plugin track.

You need to update them to 64 bit mode, with the separate 1.3 expansion updaters that are included with the MPC Software update download. Or run MPC Sofware in 32 bit mode.
