I had Windows with two drives C: and D:. In the drive C:, I have my Windows. In the drive D:, I had my all other files and data. I installed Ubuntu in the drive D:, without deleting any data from it.
So when I boot my laptop, in boot menu I see both "Windows 7" and "Ubuntu".
When I boot up with Ubuntu, it works well, but I don't have access my data in drive D: (where I installed Ubuntu) anymore, but when I boot up with Windows, I have access to it.
How can I have access my data in drive D: from Ubuntu?

It seems that :
From the Wubi Guide
How do I access the Windows drives?
The Windows partition where you installed Wubi is available as /host within Ubuntu (Places > Computer > File System > Host) All the other partitions will be available under Places > > Removable Media
From askUbuntu: Wubi: How do I find partition windows on ubuntu ?
And as fstab show a mount point /host
, you can try form a terminal :
cd /host
ls -l
or from Nautilus type Ctrl + L and then type the path /host to access your files.

Did you install Ubuntu autonomously, or as a file in the Windows partition (Wubi)? Please open a terminal and copy-paste the output of the following commands:
sudo fdisk -l
anddf

It sounds like you are mounting your drive over the Windows data. Please add the output of
cat /etc/fstab
