15 so here the sizes added up are ~48.5 gigs, right? and here...

18 we can see the 80 gig drive recognized as such.

20 and you have 155,061 cylinders on the disk, but

30 you only fill to cylinder 99,582. So 99,582 of 155,061 leaves us
31 only about 64% of the drive used, and your 30 'missing' gigs simply not
32 partitioned off. Unfortunately, since you haven't any more primary
33 partitions, you have space after /dev/hda4 and no way to use it.
34 Hopefully you know something about nondestructive partition resizing.

36 good luck!
