OK!
I reinstalled Fedora from scratch and tried to partition after your
suggestion!

Now, from "fdisk" I receive the following warning:

=================================================================
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 1027.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
   (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
=================================================================

What happened?

With the "print" command I receive the following information:

Disk /dev/hdb: 8447 MB, 8447459328 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1027 cylinders
Units = cilindri of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

"df -h" gives me:

and "mount":

/dev/hdb3 on / type ext3 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw)

none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/hdb6 on /usr type ext3 (rw)
/dev/hdb5 on /var type ext3 (rw)
/dev/hdb1 on /mnt/win type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,umask=000)

What do you think, is all that ok, now?

Thanks a lot for your help.
Ciao,
Nino
