Partition problem: not urgent



Hi,

I have some kind of a partition problem. It exists some months, but i could use
everyting whithout problems. The only thing i couldn't do is defrag my win-disk.
The problem has to do with ending/beginning of a partition

Output of cfdisk:

Name		Flags	Part Type	FS Type		[Label]		Size (MB)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/dev/hda1       Boot    Primary		DOS FAT16 (big) [          ]  	300.24
/dev/hda2       Boot	Primary         Linux ext2                    	100.41
/dev/hda5		Logical 	DOS FAT16 (big) [WIN DATA   ] 	1000.13
/dev/hda6		Logical         Linux ext2			1250.16
/dev/hda7               Logical         Linux ext2			498.10
/dev/hda8               Logical         Linux ext2 			3000.38
			Pri/Log         Free Space                      0.50


This is my fdisk output:

Using /dev/hda as default device!

Command (m for help): p

Any help. No winblows program can repair this, not even pm4. Maybe some
unix-tool may?
