Very thanks. I have tried fdisk -l -u and I have had the next : ~$ sudo fdisk -l -u [sudo] password for igor: Disk /dev/sda: 500 GB, 500105249280 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders, total 976768065 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 63 8177084 4088511 12 Compaq diag /dev/sda2 * 8177085 83762909 37784880 c FAT32 LBA /dev/sda4 83762910 863124254 389672640 5 Extended /dev/sda5 83762973 84453704 337365 83 Linux Warning: Partition 5 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/sda6 84453768 94221224 4875727 83 Linux Warning: Partition 6 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/sda7 94221288 100084949 2923830 83 Linux Warning: Partition 7 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/sda8 100085013 102799934 1349460 82 Linux swap Warning: Partition 8 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/sda9 102799998 103587119 385560 83 Linux Warning: Partition 9 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/sda10 103587183 863124254 379760535 83 Linux Warning: Partition 10 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/sda3 863124255 976768064 56813872 c FAT32 LBA So, there are no overlaps, but there are some gaps. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-laptop-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
