Assuming you have EIDE drives, you can get a list of all the disk partitions by typing fdisk /dev/hda and then typing p (for print) at the prompt.

BE CAREFUL! Do not do anything foolish like format, destroy or alter the partition table. JUST PRINT (p) and QUIT (q). FDISK is a very powerful (and therefore dangerous!) utility.

You should find something like (as an example):

Code:
Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *         1       508    512032+  83  Linux native
/dev/hda2           509       762    256032   82  Linux swap
/dev/hda3           763      5842   5120640   83  Linux native
/dev/hda4          5843     16867  11113200   b  Win95 Fat32

Feel free to cut-and-paste your results and we'll help you in the next step.
