run puppy linux, then use Gpart to partition like this

but when i run acronis to view, it is differrent from what i see in puppy linux

pls note that two points
1. one partition is error. something wrong
2. dirve map shows 62.96GB (first part....) + 48.83GB (error one) but the details only show 62.96GB, while the volume of drive beside the drive map shows only 31.5GB.

What is wrong? hidden one, .... how to do it unhidden?

note that before i reinstall, it works good with WIN and Ubuntu
