I only have Breezy installed. Here is the output:

matt at kalliope:~$ cat /proc/partitions 
major minor  #blocks  name

   8     0   39070080 sda
   8     1   14651248 sda1
   8     2    4142880 sda2
   8     3   19406520 sda3
   8     4          1 sda4
   8     5     859446 sda5
 253     0   14651248 dm-0
 253     1    4142880 dm-1
 253     2   19406520 dm-2
 253     3     859446 dm-3

Here is my partition table:

matt at kalliope:~$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda

Disk /dev/sda: 40.0 GB, 40007761920 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4864 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1               1        1824    14651248+   7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2   *        4348        4864     4142880    2  XENIX root
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda3            1825        4240    19406520   83  Linux
/dev/sda4            4241        4347      859477+   5  Extended
/dev/sda5            4241        4347      859446   82  Linux swap / Solaris

Partition table entries are not in disk order

and here is what I get when I try to mount /dev/sda1:

matt at kalliope:~$ sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/test
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1,

Dunno if this helps, but it is certainly weird. Windows was working fine since
my massive dist-upgrade yesterday.
