While installing Ubuntu I accidently did something to the 4th drive in the partition table. I ve lost 10GB (i.e.F:\drive), I cant access them thru my Windoze. And how do I access my D:\ drive? I ve installed Ubuntu on my E:\ drive

In Linux terminology, what would that partition be called? (something like /dev/hda#, where # is a number) if you find that, mount it in your Linux install, and see if you can access any files from it.
I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but this is why you back stuff up before installing any OS. I had some drive specifications change on me when changing from Knoppix to Gentoo, and I ended up formatting an entire 80GB drive! :O Luckily, I had DVD backups that were recent, but things could have been worse.
