I was able to find my partitions by listing out /dev/disk/by-uuid (ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid). This will provide the UUID I would think (did not try it out when I was in Ubuntu using wubi) that sudo fdisk -l would list out your partitions along with providing the filetype like:
Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x3ddf88b8 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 4334 34811892 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda2 18595 19457 6932047+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda3 4335 18594 114543450 5 Extended /dev/sda5 4596 12068 60026872+ 83 Linux /dev/sda6 4335 4595 2096419+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda7 12069 13373 10482381 83 Linux /dev/sda8 13374 14678 10482381 83 Linux /dev/sda9 14679 18594 31455238+ 83 Linux Another easy way to obtain the information is to use blkid (might need sudo -- I am currently in Gentoo). It should list out the partition, UUID, and filetype so you can find your Windows partition. You should be able to go into into /etc/fstab and add your Windows partition to be something like: # /dev/sda1 UUID=1234AB5C67DE8901 /mnt/vista ntfs-3g defaults 0 0 If you are using Hardy or higher, ntfs-3g should be already installed.
