Shalom,

Compare the list to sfdisk -l /dev/sda output

This will show any partitions that may have been set up raw but not be visible on the df output.

If nothing is abnormal:

fdsik /dev/sda

p (prints the partition table should match outpout above)
n (adds a new partition) You can set size in MB .

fisk is the first step.
After fdisk, you'll need to use mkfs.ext3 to set up a filesystem, modify /etc/fstab for boot mounting and mount the partition.
