Ouch, that's a logical/virtual partition rather than a physical partition
isn't it?  That means it's enclosed within another "extended" partition,
and I don't think you can boot from that.  I had a very similar problem
when I was installing RedHat 6.1 on my Dad's Viao 505.  I ended up 
recreating all the partitions as physical, and that did the trick.
