boot from live cd again, backup if any data is there. and start gparted, its in:
System--> administration---> partitioneditor/gparted. and parition it properly again. Partion it to NTFS if you are planning to use that partition in wimpdopes as well as linux. or from command line: sudo mkfs.ntfs /dev/sda3 I recommend booting via live USB instead of live CD.
