Your disk geometry is all messed up. Your partitions should be in order like:
Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00000080
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 4864 39070048+ 83 Linux /dev/sda2 4865 19457 117218272+ 5 Extended /dev/sda5 4865 19210 115234213+ 83 Linux /dev/sda6 19211 19457 1983996 82 Linux swap / Solaris
your partitions are not aligned at all, try following start-end sectors, should be /dev/sda1 at start 1 and sda2 continoues where sda1 ended and so on... Either windows or linux messed up your drive and i tip on windows because it seems that u first installed linux then windows (or drive info is so messed up that i cant interpret it correctly). I dont know how your system is functioning at all. Try running partition magic software under windows and try repairing the drive geomtry or repartition whole drive from the start ...
