this a bit funny..
looks like the HPFS/NTFS partition has changed to fat32, but the size is not 
right for  
fdisk_cmds="fdisk /delete /pri:1;fdisk /pri:4000;fdisk /activate:1"
And the partition numbering is in reverse order.
The boot flag is on the ext3 partition.. witch is numbered as partition 1..

And here the partition numbering are as it should be..
But, the start/end numbers are still funny..

The partition sizes and the filesystem labels seems to be mixed up..
 looks like a parted bug.

I dont think there is a clean and quick fix for this.
The best workaround is probably done from the existing linux install you have.
do you have parted installed there?
..tell unattended to not touch partitions when installing windows..
