Hi all.
Thanks a lot for your replies.

I downloaded TestDisk (www.cgsecurity.org/testdisk.html) as Andreas adviced
me.
I executed it and it found by 5 partitions. It seems it scans the HD looking
for the heading of quite a lot filesystems.
I have recovered all the data and I can boot from that HD in both the Win XP
and the Linux partition, so everything it's OK again.

Thanks for your replies.
Regards
