how to see partitioned hard disk

Using...

If you use Mint as a live-cd and use the command "sudo fdisk-l" in a terminal what do you recieve for results? Can you post them? You can also use a live-cd such as PartedMagic with "fdisk-l".

In a worst case, you may need to restore your partition table using Testdisk. Do not try to write anything to your HDD before you attempt to recover your partition table.

How did you install mint? It gives option to manually partition the disk. Did you not use it? Did you allow Mint to partition the disk and use it completely for itself? Login into mint and then type
and give the output here. You will need to provide with the password of your own login.
