Question

See more:

I have installed 64-bit ubuntu 14.04 LTS, few days before.

I have dual booting Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Windows 8.1.

I have 1TB hard disk.
I have created partition of :
1) 250 GB for Windows C drive
2) 250 GB for Ubuntu
3) 500 GB as a D drive

I didn't create any swap partition/space while installation, but now I really need to add swap for ubuntu.

So now, if I re-install only ubuntu and create swap partition.

Does it affect/harmful to my data on windows c drive ?

Sounds a bit too late, but there are some disk tools which can split a partition preserving its content. You will need to take some risk, but it generally works. Do your search.

Install GParted in Ubuntu. A very powerfull and reliable tool that can handle practically all disk/partition formats and can resize without data loss. Easy to use interface (just like partition magic).

Good luck!
