midnightflash proposed the following answer:
The prolem seems to be that you created all partitions as  "primary"
ones. There cannot be more than 4 primary ones. So the rest of the HDD
cannot be used.

You have to change one to be a logical and build the other ones within
this.

As you have done like it is... a problematic job.

>From within GParted-Live-CD: 
You could delete the sda2 (swap), move sda3 as far as possible to the beginning of free space and then sda4 to the beginning of free space. then build a new logical on the rest of the hdd. Within this logical make a NTFS one.

Now you can look if Windows is possible to find it... it should.

Beware that Windows will rewrite the bootblock so Linux (from a Live-CD)
will have to make a new one after all.

Much fun
