A DOS disk (not-GPT) can only have four primary partitions. If you're going to have more than four, then at least one must be an extended partition (typically the fourth partition or /dev/sdd4) and any partitions above 4 live INSIDE partition 4. In the above example, /dev/sdd4 should be type 5 (EXTENDED), then /dev/sdd5 and /dev/sdd6 would live inside /dev/sdd4. In some ways, that makes sense in that /dev/sdd4 is the biggest partition and could hold sdd5 and sdd6, but I have no idea what this stuff looked like before. Anything I say would be a wild guess. Also the mixture of straight Linux (type 83) and LVM (type 8e) partitions is worrying. Again, without knowing how things were laid out before makes any advice I offer dangerous. > The harddisk (45 GB / 41 GiB) seems too small!
