I have reinstalled the Linux on the Ext3, but there was the same problem. Then I have decided to delete the Linux and installed FreeBSD.

Fdisk currently doesn't support diving into extended slices. You can use Linux Fdisk or take a look at http://memphis.mephi.ru/~timon/ Sinceherely yours, Artem 'Zazoobr' Ignatjev.
