Either you don't have Ubuntu installed, or it is a Wubi install, and is entirely contained within a file in your Windows partition.

No I had Ubuntu installed on different partition and not as wubi install as you can see in last snapshot(marked green), also gparted show the partition as unallocated space. – KashmirHackers Dec 26 '12 at 4:59
@KashmirHackers, in that case you seem to have deleted it. – psusi Dec 26 '12 at 15:02
but I only reinstalled my windows 7 with the help of repair disk, and I have done it before many times, but don't know why this time my reinstallation of windows 7 wiped out my Ubuntu partitions. – KashmirHackers Dec 28 '12 at 4:16
