To look at all the partitions on one physical disk, you use "fdisk" pointed 
to the physical device for the drive. or example, if your drive is the IDE 
primary master, use "fdisk /dev/hda". Once in fdisk, choose "p" to "print" 
(actually, to display onscreen) the list of partitions and their associated 
device names. Then "q" to quit without saving. You'll need to be root to 
run fdisk.

If you have several hard disks, you need to do each separately, following 
this pattern

         IDE primary master      /dev/hda
         IDE primary slave       /dev/hdb
         IDE secondary master    /dev/hdc
         IDE secondary slave     /dev/hdd
