[ubuntu-in] question about Partition-Swap VISTA-LINUX.

[Mehdi]

I use 200 GB and 2 GB Ram.
WinRe: 1.5 Gb
C: Vista 52 Gb
D: Linux 24
E: swap  2.4
F: data  107 GB

now i using Vista & Linux together without any problem but i want reinstall
my Vista again & i think my harddisk partition is not good and I do not know
the right type of partition in that situation.

You can have only two primary partitions and the rest need to be under
a logical partition.
I think we can have 4 Primary partitions.

*I'm sure that my current partition is not good.  see it again. i use the
Fdisk -l in terminal: *

Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1               1         192     1536000   27  Unknown
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda2   *         192        6948    54272000    7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda3            6949        9987    24410767+  83  Linux
/dev/sda4            9988       24321   115137855    5  Extended
/dev/sda5            9988       10352     2931831   82  Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda6           10353       24321   112204800    7  HPFS/NTFS
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*see this one, I use the parted /dev/sda print*

Number  Start   End     Size    Type      File system     Flags
