That's one (quite possible) explanation.  Another thing to check is
the output of fdisk.  It may show that there is another partition
setup for the recovery and reinstallation of the original OS.  To use
fdisk to list the partition table, you'd use "fdisk -l /dev/sda"
You'll need to either be root or be in the disk group.  You may also
need to adjust the path if /dev/sda isn't where your disk is at.
