someone asked for the output of fdisk -l and cat /boot/grub/menulist.lst on
my system. Perhaps it will help clarify things.
sudo fdisk -l

Partition table entries are not in disk order
====================================
Disk /dev/sda: 2013 MB, 2013265920 bytes
129 heads, 32 sectors/track, 952 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 4128 * 512 = 2113536 bytes

/dev/sda1 * 1 949 1957872 6 FAT16
Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings:
phys=(956, 128, 32) logical=(948, 75, 32)
The information below the ============
is given only while I am on 6.10. Not while I am on 7.10.
The output of the command:
sudo cat /boot/grub/menulist.lst
I put in the attachment as it is large.
It clear that I have 3 linuxes.
So when I "I updated to 7.04 and then 7.10" I was really adding
installations.
