I have dual-booted windows 7 and ubuntu 14.04 on my laptop. I can browse files stored in windows partition in ubuntu os but I cannot browse or see ubuntu partition in 'my computer' in windows. Please help how can I access my files of ubuntu partition in windows 7 partition?

Ubuntu is most likely using ext3
or ext4
filesystem format. Windows can not recognize this format and will not interact will drives/partitions using ext*
filesystem.
To access your files between both systems, you can create and additional fat32
partition on the drive and have it automatically mount in both OSes. AFAIK fat32
is the best filesystem format for interoperability between Linux and Windows.
