I am not understanding your question.
If you are logged into Ubuntu, running GParted will show you all the partitions on your hard drive.

I do not understand what they are used for?
sda1 is labeled as ESP and mounted in /boot/efi, so it contains some booting program
Usage of sda4 and sda5 is clear, but for what purpose are:
sda2 - FAT32, labeled DIAGS, flagged hidden
sda3 - FAT32, labeled OS, flagged msftdata

Pretty sure a book on Linux and Ubuntu in particular would explain it.
Or do a Google search.
