RE: Weird looking partition table

["Otto Haliburton" <ottohaliburton attbi com>]

Hda1 is a extended partition containing hda5, hda6, and hda7.  I don't
know why it has Win95 in it except that partition type is loosely used
and may have stray bits in it(who knows).  Looks okay to me, maybe
someone else has an opinion.

This is what fdisk -l /dev/hda lists:

/dev/hda: 120.0 GB, 120000000000 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14589 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
 
 Device	   Start  Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1          9151     14589  43688767+   f  Win95  Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hda2             1      3616  29045488+  17  Hidden HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda3   *      3745      9150  43423695   83  Linux
/dev/hda4          3617      3744   1028160   82  Linux  swap
/dev/hda5          9151      9163    104391   83  Linux
/dev/hda6          9164     14459  42540088+  83  Linux
/dev/hda7         14460     14589   1044193+  82  Linux  swap

Now, I'm rather confused. 

There seems to be 2 overlapping partitions: 
hda1 and hda5 both start at cyl 9151 ?? Is that OK?

(BTW, I never had any Win95 installed, this is weird.)

/hda3 * is RED HAT 9
/hda6 is Mandrake; I guess (this one disappeard out of GRUB, when I
istalled RED HAT, so I can't boot it anymore)

Any comments would be nice.

Thank you.

Albert
