aftermath of an ubuntu installation

[Donny George]

hi

i booted ubuntu with live cd and was not able to see my specific drive by
accessing the drives from places - computers

i then opened up partition editor and this is how it looks

/dev/hda1 fat32 20 GB(my windows xp main drive)
/dev/hda2 (lock symbol) external 8.55GB(my lost windows drive with data)
/dev/hda5 (lock symbol) linux swap 8.07 GB(no clue wat this is )
/dev/hda6(lock symbol) linux swap 494.16MB(i beleive this is the real linux
swap)
/dev/hda3 ext3 9.79GB(the space i gave for ubuntu)

i cant open the extended parition, nor can i access anything frmo within it.
my hard disk is just around 39 GB

hope i was able to provide you all with the best of information that i could
get

thnx for ur help in advance
don
