If you want to keep your Windows XP and Recovery partitions then the
above looks like you may have lost your recovery partition. You should
have something like this:

/dev/sda            <--- This is the entire drive.
/dev/sda1  vfat   <--- This is usually the recovery partition
/dev/sda2  ntfs   <--- This is usually more wasted space, I mean the
Windows partition :-)
/dev/sdaX xxx   <--- These will be where you throw your Linux distro.
