Hi,
is it possible to get drive names and partitions on the drives in my 
computer?

I have just installed ubuntu, after trying hard on debian and having 
network troubles. was just too much.
I still have xp installed for now till I get a few more bits and pieces 
of hardware working but mostly it runs minta out of the box.

so basically I am booting the second drive from the bios so grub didn;t 
destroy the windows disc mbr and I can just swapthe bios booting without 
having to get inside my machine and leaves things nicely alone so I can 
just swap the discs when I do change over cleanly. On the disc with the 
ubuntu install is also a fat32 partition that I would like to mount to 
write files too to share with windows in the interim.
so basically just want the partitions name and how to mount it read/write.

cheers Haldor
