hdb is your second hard disk, it appears to have a couple of NTFS file systems on it. If you have two hard disks but only use one, perhaps you can remove the extra one and donate it to somebody who wants to have more.

One last question:

As I posted above, the output of "fdisk -l" shows
/dev/hda and /dev/hdb.

What is the diffrence hda and hdb?I didnt create hdb.
Can I remove hdb?

Sorry for any inconvinience
Hi, no inconvenience,

It looks as if You have secondary hard disk, a "slave" on Your primary IDE-interface. And it appears to have Windows partitions on it. If You don't want it You can of course delete them and make Linux partitions on them with fdisk. Or You can mount them as they are, just to see what's there.

try
mkdir /mnt/tmp
mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb5 /mnt/tmp

and so on...

/L
