Dear Tom,
thanks for the exhaustive reply.
this is the infomation which you  want: the result of fdisk -l:

Disk /dev/sda: 120.0 GB, 120034123776 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xe98a535b

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1               1           5       40131   de  Dell Utility
/dev/sda2   *           6         397     3145728   83  Linux
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda3             398        2327    15502725   83  Linux
/dev/sda4            2328       14593    98526645    5  Extended
/dev/sda5           14469       14593     1004031   82  Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda6            2328       13969    93514302   83  Linux
/dev/sda7           13970       14468     4008186   82  Linux swap / Solaris

as per gparted sda6 is ext 3 89.18 MB, used 31.42 MB,
sda 5 & 7 linux swap 3.82 MB & 980.50 MB
all of the above under sda 4
sda 3 ext 3 14.78 GB used 284.65 MB
sda2 ext 3.00 gb, 92.8 mb used
sda1 fat 16 39.19 mb, 8.68 mb used
there is unallocated 2.94 mb
the reason for so many partitions is that i had reinstalled hardy and also tried out dual booting with win xp which could not be installed successfully.

I plan to try Dell's factory recovery DVD iso forinstalling 9.04.
thanks,
regards
Kartik
