For diagnostic purposes please provide the output of the following commands (to be executed in a terminal window):

uname -a
lsb_release -crid
sudo fdisk -l

How did you install Ubuntu?
What selection did you choose at the partitioning dialogue? "Use the whole hard disk" or "install besides the existing OS"?

Please provide also the output of the command

sudo fdisk -l

You have to be aware that entering this command in a terminal window will respond with a prompt
"[sudo] password for (your user name)"
This is a request for a conformation to execute an administrative task. Type in your password and press the enter key. Please note that you will not get any feedback for the password (no echo, not even '*' placeholders).

I see three hard disks, one 300 GB and two 465 GB disks.

Where is/was Windows 7 installed?

It seems to me that during installation of Ubuntu you have selected to overwrite the Windows system disk.
If that is the case, then the Windows programs probably are gone.

Windows data disks seem to be still there (/dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdc1)

You should run the boot-info-script to receive detailed info about your partitions.

Can you help with this problem?
