I'm not worried about the boundry warnings but the Ids/System being unknown is a concern. If you are running XP I believe it uses a different parition table format that you might have to compile into the kernel (its under filesystems). I have installed Woody on an XP system with no problems mounting NTFS(xp drive) or vfat(second drive, cfdisk). In fact looking at the partition table again all the paritions on hdb overlap, as does some on hda. Please tell me you didn't try the 'double your hardisk space' from slashdot recently. I don't have a system with extended partitions to hand check what it should look like. For FAT the Ids should probably be 0b or 0c. Linux is 83 and Linux swap is 82 'echo l | fdisk /dev/hda' for more ids. I would guess that the fat kernel driver checks the partition type before mounting and this is why it won't mount. Your partition table would appear to be seriously messed up. Did you change it without rebooting? Also is it all viewable with Windows? If you have a Knoppix disk(or any other bootable Linux - this includes Debian install disks - Alt-F2) could you try mounting it with that?
