hard drive problem


I have installed ubuntu in automatic mode.
when i removed it from computer by removing partition(let E by going to disk management in xp, the portion of drive where the ubuntu was installed automatically get primary partition.

then i created the new drive from that partition in XP(let E. Later on when my XP got corrupted and i installed fresh xp then when i tried to access the drive i created(E says the file system not supported need to format the disk.

Also when i tried to install fresh copy of linux in those partition it never get install on those partition.

Now the issue is i cannot use those partiton due to fear that incase windows get corrupted my all data in that partition will be gone.

Please Help.

Currently i am not having any linux on computer due to shortage of disk space.

Thanks.

I suggest you attach some storage, be it an extra internal harddisk or an external USB one and make a backup of your vital data before doing anything else. As far as your botched installs are concerned I'm afraid those would be hard to understand without 'fdisk -l' output, logs and 'dmesg' output at the time of installation.
