I am confused, when I try to access my windows partition D:
the Hardware Browser show me that my Windows partition has a size of 26128 MB when actually I have two windows partitions

C: 16124
D: 10004
after I mount this partition I can access C: from Linux but I cannot see D:

What can I do?

Thank you!
 
after I mount this partition
sounds like mounting one - how should you see two?

I don't know the 'Hardware Browser' - assume it's trash.

Mount the second partition with a second command.

fdisk can be used, to list all partitions on a drive.
Then you know what to mount.
Code:
fdisk /dev/hda
if both partitions are on one - the first drive.


seeking a job as java-programmer in Berlin:
 
try sfdisk /dev/hda | sfdisk --no-reread /dev/hda
