This looks more than just weird. Something would appear to be hosed rather
completely, based on the block numbers shown. If the MS OS on /tmp/hda1 will
boot properly, I'd consider deleting hda2-5 and then repartitioning from
there. I'd also recommend that you use linux fdisk for this rather than Disk
Druid. Disk Druid is looking good & will get better, but the current release
gives me some rather interesting results, especially in having many problems
with drives having > 1024 cylinders. 8^)
