Yep, as indicated by someone else, you have used up your primary number
of partitions, which is four. Fdisk has nowhere in which to add any
partitions. The above still looks weird, with partitions within partitions.
The bottom one is supposed to be part of the extended, but hda3 and hda4
just appear out of place.
In any event, the only way around to problem is to rebuild all of the
partitions from scratch. At least that is what I would do. Back up your
DOS and Linux stuff and start over, planning out your disk space a little
better.
