GParted Problem

[Vyasram]

I have two hdds, 80GB ide and 160GB sata . I have ubuntu dapper installed in the 160GB hdd in a 20GB primary partition. Recently i accidentally deleted the swap partition it used with acronis dds( a primary partiotion on the same drive). I also have all sorts of files on both hdds and windows xp on the 80 GB ide,

now the problem is, whenever i use gparted , it says both partitions are unallocated, i even tried using the live cd , but got the same results, same result with qtparted, however acronis dds 10 is showing everything fine .
both windows and ubuntu are working fine as well

so what is the problem. also how can i allocate a new swap for ubuntu
