Hi

Just wanted to query something with the partitioning on my disk.

I had to reinstall the OS this evening (KDE 10.3) and it looks as though 
the previous partitions for previous system are still present which is not 
what i had intended. I don't much about this, so i'm not sure if it's 
something i need to be concerned about or not, but i do want to make sure 
i haven't caused a problem.

I opened Kdiskfree which shows the following:


DEVICE                                  TYPE     SIZE    MOUNT POINT

/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_WDC_WD16....  ext3     N/A     /
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_WDC_WD16      ext3     N/A     /home
/dev/fd0                                auto     N/A     /media/floppy

/dev/sda5                               ?        19.7GB  /
/dev/sda6                               ?        105.4GB /home
debugfs                                 debugfs  N/A     /sys/kernel
udev                                    ?        1,002MB /dev

Does this look right?

During the install i wanted to completely remove the 
previous installation and repartition the new OS using the whole disk, but 
i'm not certain that has happened.

I'm using a SATA 160GB hard drive on a Dell XPS laptop on 64bit 
Architecture.

I'd be really grateful if someone could explain what has happened and if i 
need to be concerned at all.

I''m sorry if this seems a silly request, i just want to understand what 
i've done.

Thanks in advance, Jamie
