My Ubuntu OS does not recognise any external drives or devices. This started after I installed Windows XP. When I run GParted, it shows "unallocated 465.76 GiB". I ran "sudo fdisk -l -u /dev/sda" and this is what I got-

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1         4001790   108857343    52427777    5  Extended
Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary.
/dev/sda2        45946880   108857343    31455232   83  Linux
/dev/sda3   *   108872505   171766979    31447237+   7  HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
Partition 3 does not start on physical sector boundary.
/dev/sda4       171771904   976773119   402500608    7  HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda5         4001792    45944831    20971520   83  Linux

I can't figure out what's wrong with my partition table. Please help.

You can check GParted -> Information for more details (source). It is likely your partition table is violating some of the rules of ms-dos partition tables.
