[gentoo-user] problems with partition table

[JC D]

Hi!

I think I have a serious problem with my partition table. I did all the partitions with fdisk but may be not right, or somewhen screwed my partition table up. I want to use a graphical tool like gparted also doing some changes on my fat32 partition. But when I installed gparted I got an empty partition table with nothing than

unallocated 55.89 GB      (my disk is an 60 GB Hitachi)

nothing else!!!
 Here is my outpu from 
# fdisk -l

 fdisk -l

Disk /dev/hda: 60.0 GB, 60011642880 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7296 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *           1        1913    15361888+   7  HPFS/NTFS
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/hda2            1914        4208    18427027+   c  W95 FAT32 (LBA)
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/hda3            5100        7296    17637480    f  W95 Ext'd (LBA)
Partition 3 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/hda4            4208        5099     7164990   83  Linux
/dev/hda5   *        5100        5108       68008+  83  Linux
/dev/hda6            5108        5173      521608+  82  Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/hda7            5173        7296    17047768+  83  Linux

Partition table entries are not in disk order

This seems wrong to me. Also parted says something with overlapping partitions and its right I think. Is there any chance to repair this without destroying the whole installation? I have backuped my installation with rsync and also did save my mbr:

dd if=/dev/hda of=/backup/mbr512.img bs=512 count=1

and

dd if=/dev/hda of=/backup/mbr446.img bs=446 count=1

Must I somehow reinstall my partition table? And how to do this?

Ok, thank you and have a nice sunday!
