I just upgraded my 160GB hdd to 500GB on my ThinkPad T60
and everything was fine with my original 2 distros.
fdisk -l listed with no errors.
I installed 5 new distros including OpenSuse 11.3
Suse  works fine but now:
# fdisk -l now reads:

Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes

/dev/sda13 28560 29324 6144831 83 Linux

sda6, sda7, sda8, and sda9 end at cylinder and the next
partition starts at same cylinder as the previous cylinder.
The next partition should start at the next cylinder as 
sda10,sda11,sda12 and sda13.

How can I correct this?
Does testdisk correct this, is it safe to use?
