We need some more information.  Can you please do the following:-

1) go to Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal

2) type in the following exactly as written:-

sudo fdisk -l > ~/mydisks.txt

3) type in your password when prompted

4) Now go to Places -> Home Folder

5) Double click on mydisks.txt

6) press the Ctrl and A keys at the same time

7) press the Ctrl and C keys at the same time

8) Reply to this message and then press Ctrl and V to paste the content 
into the message

9) Please then send us the reply with the output included - on my system 
using Thunderbird it's just a question of pressing the Send key.

Good luck.

Alan
