This is good. This is the empty partition table. You have no partitions defined.
i ve rebooted my system after i run another time fdisk, like those :

OK, you've created 1 new partition, 80GB in size.
Now you have to run mkfs on this partition. You've created it, but it contains no data yet, worse, you're probably reading the *old* 20GB data left over from the previous partitioning that you destroy.
You need to understand that partitioning only draws the lines on the disk where the files system will live. It does not re-write the superblocks, directories, or data between those lines. That is the job of mkfs. (Or in your case, mkfs.ext3 if you want an ext3 file system.)
After i mount this partition and i've that : mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/tmp
Yeah, you mounted without making the new file system. Oops!
I hope this is clear now! B^)
