Thanks to all of you for your suggestions. I tried them, and discovered 
that
cat /proc/partitions gave me the cleanest and easiest to read results. I 
was looking for some more system information, and happened upon System 
-- Administration -- System Monitor in 8.04. I clicked on the File 
Systems tab and lo and behold, the partitions were set out even with the 
Windows partitions' names. In fact the NTFS partition was not included 
so I mounted it from Home, and it too was included in the list. Now off 
to the logon mounting task. Thanks again.
