fdisk

I have installed Ubuntu on one of my partition and Crunchbang on the other partition. As I wanted to make some continuous space, I moved Crunchbang partition and then checked fdisk output which looks like this

Disk /dev/sda: 320.1 GB, 320072933376 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders, total 625142448 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xc7996dfa

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System

/dev/sda7       341045248   625139711   142047232    7  HPFS/NTFS/exFAT

I cannot see sda2 and sda3 partition. How to find them?
