Boot from a LiveCD/DVD/USB of Ubuntu and open a terminal (CTRL+ALT+T) and give this command

Also , are you sure that Windows was shutdown properly ? I mean , is not in hibernate mode or something like this.
Yes, I did make sure that the windows was shutdown properly before i rebooted the computer to install Ubuntu.
I'm sorry for the late reply. It was night for me here.
