You could toggle the partition type to a type that windows recognizes, 
like type c using fdisk in Linux. There is also tools very well hidden 
in XP which can reclaim the partitions and format them from the XP 
utility. I cannot recall the name for the XP disk management utility. I 
had to use it a few times, but not enough to recall the location. I have 
no XP to look for it either.

I hope this gives you some clues to what you would have to do in either 
linux or XP.
