[PLUG] Partition table: BAD!

I could not modify the contents of my second drive with gparted, and the partition table looks like this: /dev/sdb1   * 7822369801953529577 585646299   a5  FreeBSD
/dev/sdb2 235352062 782227455   273437697    5  Extended
/dev/sdb5       235352064   245116927     4882432   82  Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sdb6       245118976   293945343    24413184   83  Linux
/dev/sdb7       293947392   782227455   244140032   83  Linux 
Says, "Unallocated." The situation is that FreeBSD is really at the high end of the drive, primary partition, should be sdb8. Where sdb1 really is should be free space starting at the beginning, probably 63, and going to just before sdb2, or 235352062. Does someone know how to do this, or where I could find out how to do it (probably with fdisk?).
