Mapping pages in database file?

Hi there,
Recently for some reason, after I was trying adjusting the indexes om my
test database, the size of the database, balloned from ~4GB to 13GB+. This
is after I rolledback all the changes I did. The database runs in full
recovery mode.
Now I got the transaction log figured out, and with the help of dbcc
loginfo, I can see what's being used in the log. But what I'd like to find
out is how large the parts of the database is; ie. a complete run down, on
what SQL Server 2000 uses storage space on.
For reference, a dbcc shrinkdatabase gives the following -
11 2 16120 128 16120 128
According to BOL, the last number (Estimated Pages) is what it guess on the
database can be shrunked to, however, that's extremely unlikely, as I know,
the DB should be around 4GB just after being created and filled with data.
How do I go about this little project?

By using DBCC SHOWCONTIG(table), investigating the Avg. Page Density (full)
and remembering that fillfactor works reverse of what previously thought. To
boil it down, I applied a fillfactor of 15%, when I should had applied 85%.
Clever.
