Most likely, if you installed Linux second, your windows should be located on /dev/hda1. Secondly, did you partition your drive before installing Linux? I've installed Mandrake without first partitioning through windows or DOS and it attempted to partition the drive during the Mandrake setup. It failed miserably and I had to reinstall windows. As stated above, you can mount the windows partition from Linux and retrieve your files.
And a note on installing... since you appear to be a newbie, I doubt this will make a lot of sense to you unless you've done any kind of programming... BUT, you can download source files, complile them, and create the executables yourself if you don't have the RPMs. And since you downloaded the RH package, I'm guessing it didn't come with all the RPMs that a distro pack comes with. But hey, if this doesn't help, or you don't understand, please post back.

SYNOPSIS
partx [-a|-d|-l] [--type TYPE] [--nr M-N] [partition] disk
DESCRIPTION
Given a block device ( disk ) and a partition table type , try to parse the partition table, and list the contents. Optionally add or

of on-disk partitions.

-l list partitions. Note that the all numbers are in 512-byte sectors.
--type TYPE
Specify the partition type -- dos, bsd, solaris, unixware or gpt.
--nr M-N
Specify the range of partitions (e.g --nr 2-4).
SEE ALSO
addpart(8), delpart(8), fdisk(8), parted(8), partprobe(8)
