Amritpal,
You should find your ubuntu partition on
/dev/loop0             22G  6.6G   15G  32% /
It looks as if it is mounted as a loop device from an .iso-file on your 
system. You could do that with:
" mount xxx.iso / -o loop" (without the quotes)
where / is the mountpoint (see man 8 mount) but if you have the 
knowledge to do that on purpose I think  you then must also have 
sufficient knowledge to find your file system. I don't know of any 
procedure that does that automatically.
The easiest thing to check that is with an OS (ubuntu) on an USB-stick.
My 0.02 €.
