I have not followed this whole thread, so this may have been posted 
before.  Is System>Administration>Disks what you are looking for?  It 
brings up a list of drives.  When you click on the drive you want to 
see, it displays general info on that drive.  There is also a tab to 
look at the partitions on that drive.  The first screen lists the name 
of the drive (/dev/hda for example).  The second screen shows a list of 
partitions on that drive.  If you click on a partition it should give 
you the path to that partition.  You can also enable/disable partitions 
on that screen.
Good Luck!
