Your extended partition ID(Type) is 5 which is the old type of DOS Extended partition. The newer extended Partitions have ID(Type) "F". This happens if you had said "No" to the query "Enable Large Disk Support" in DOS FDISK program. If you dont have any data on the Logical drives delete them and recreate them but this type while using DOS FDISK - enable Large Disk Support with a YES. below is my HDD table.
/sbin/fdisk -l /dev/hda

Partition table entries are not in disk order While I am able to mount the dev/hda1, I am not able to mount the /dev/hda6 . The error reported is [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# mount -t msdos /dev/hda6 /c mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda6, or too many mounted file systems
What could be wrong..
Regards and thanks for your time.
