hi!

I am Suvra kanta Roy,a 2nd year Computer sci. Engg. student of CET,Bhubaneswar.My 
problem is related to a partition that I am not able to recognise.Ihave Mandrake linux 
& win-XP running in my PC.But I want 2 install Red hat linux also.I've 4 partitions  
of my hard disk made by the technician before I bought it.I know that th mandrake 
Linus takes about 5gb of space but there are 2 patrtitions of almost the same size 
i.e. 5.xx Gb.How do I know which is the  redundant one,the partition table put up to 
me when i try installing Red Hat linux is as follows(I have ony 1 hard disk):
                                start     end
hda1 --- 26717 ---   vfat  ---    1      3406
hda2 --- 11445 ---   extended--  3407   4865
hda5 --- 5499  ---   ext3  ---   3407    4107
hda6 ---  243  ---   swap  ---   4108    4138
hda7 --- 5703  ---   ext3  ---   4139    4865


PLease tell me how can I know that which hda(i.e.hda5 or hda7)is the one which 
consists of mandrake & which is empty.Please help me quickly as I really need to get 
the job done soon.

Thanks,
Suvra Kanta Roy
