depending on the version of windows you are running, with 2000/xp, right click my computer, manage, then under the storage, Disk Manangement, and it will show the drives and what partitions are on the drive.
Win98/ME, you can boot from a boot up disk and use fdisk to see them or any other 3rd party partitioning program like partition magic

df -h

Your hard disks will *probably* be /dev/hda /dev/hdb and /dev/hdc (/dev/sda if you are using SATA or SCSI disks) unless you are using LVM.



The partitions will be the drive followed by a # ie - /dev/hda1 would be the first partition on the primary hard disk /dev/hda2 second and so on...
