So it's conceivable that /dev/hda5 was created as a 4G NTFS partition 
for the trial win2kserver install, was reformatted as ext2 without 
changing the partition type by Knoppix and similarly again by the Fedora 
installer?

I guess the moral of the story is the widely-offered tip of "create 
partitions in the OS that's going to use them".
