installing hoary, no sound, accessing partitions

[Jonathan McLoughlin]

In relation to your partitions
Each HD partition is considered a device and has a corresponding file in 
/dev

fdisk -l

will produce a report of all devices attached to your computer. with 
these devices you can then use the mount command to mount these devices 
to your filesystem. eg

mount /dev/sd** /some_mount_point_on_your_file_system

Mounting filesystems is made easier with /etc/fstab
You should take a look at this file
