My computer completely ****ed itself a few days ago and after narrowing down the problem I've been using test disk to try and repair some partitions.
After having to restart the scanning a few times (very annoying) I finally got to the part where you assign the boot, Primary, Logical thing with the partitions before you repair.
It isn't as straightforward as I would like though as there are six partitions on the drive (Dell....)
Now I really don't want to screw this up so I need help in figuring out which is which.

"OS" partition is the C drive of our PC and "Recovery" is the D Drive, those two are listed when you open Computer in windows.
I'm using a Dell Inspiron 1720 and running Windows Vista if that helps.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
