(I'm not sure if pdisk is incluced in the standard OS X installation or if it 
requires the xtools package, so this may possibly not work for you.)

Open the Terminal and type 'sudo pdisk'. Then, after entering your 
administrator password, type 'L' (Without the quotes, of course!) as the 
top-level command. It will give you the size and locations of all partitions on 
all your disks that are recognized by the system that are partition with the 
Apple Partition Map, which yours probably are. SInce it only has to read a tiny 
portion of the beginning of the disk, it will not be affected by the 128GB 
limit.

The names of the partitions may not be the same as their current names in the 
Finder, but if you know the approxiamate sizes of the various volumes, you can 
probably figure out which is which.

BTW, although pdisk can be a dangerous utility if you use it to alter a disk by 
editing and writing to it, just looking at what's already there can't do any 
harm.
