Code:

fdisk -l /dev/hda

Change the device as apropriate.

Example output:

Code:

root@cyberman:/home/david/> fdisk -l /dev/hda

Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 7474 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

Assuming IDE devices:

/dev/hda - primary master
/dev/hdb - primary slace
/dev/hdc - secondary master
/dev/hdd - secondary slave

df will list mounted partitions and disk space total/used/available

and 'fdisk -l | less' will output ALL your partitions to 'less' so you can read it comfortably.
