Boot into whichever distribution of Linux you are using, open a terminal and log in as root user and run this command: fdisk -l(Lower case Letter L in the command). This will show your drive/partition information which you can post here to get suggestions. If you are using ubuntu or one of its derivatives, prefix the command with sudo.
