Hum, this is not clear to me. Do you have a second drive on which 
Windows resides.  Only one drive? Did you completely get rid of the 
windows partition?  That is not clear to me.

OR

Are you reformatting your whole drive (the only one in that computer), 
or did you reformat your whole drive and now you have a blank disk 
(having already "fubared" your data)?

OR

Do you have one partition where you have installed Ubuntu, keeping the 
other 3 partitions alive and well (presumably NTFS), and your question 
now is "how do I mount them" to have them available in Linux?

 From your explanations, we will be able to help you further.
