ubuntu should be able to see your windoze partition. windoze will NOT be able to see your ubuntu partition if you formatted it to ext2, ext3, ext4.

There are ext2 and 3 readers, and experimental ext4, but these are supplied as third party tools, and may not be straightforward to use, or necessarily stable.

Windows implements very few filesystem handlers, and thus cannot read disks not created by windows systems.

Can you help with this problem?
