The full fdisk output is:

Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:

It a Dell, but given the configuration, i do not believe it came
pre-installed from the factory.

No disk manager of any sort running.

Only the first partition is bootable, I had two to separate the

The multi-os boot manager is Smart Boot Manager, but that doesn't change
