sure.  george w. bush really does remind me of alfred e. neuman, but i'm
guessing you were asking about df.

the output from fdisk and cfdisk seem fine -- 80 gb, give or take --
while df will show you only the unused space in mounted filesystems.
thus, if you have large, unallocated/fdisked/mounted portions of the
drive, df will certainly not take them into account.

all in all, your output seems reasonable.
