Partition MAJOR screw up

[audiphile]

So I dont know what I'm doing, obviously. I reinstalled Ubuntu over another Ubuntu install because the nVidia flicker prevented me from logging on (and I didn't have the skill to troubleshoot in Linux)...

anyway, here is what I'm working with now. Any way to correct this issue or do I need to re-install everything? If reinstalling, how do I make sure I don't do this again?

thanks in advance!

There are few thing that ideally shouldn't be there but nothing to prevent you from working. Do you actually have problems on the computer or you think your partitions are messed up? From this data it's not such a mess.
