· Thanks Matt. Here's what sudo gave me (my 2nd-hand 2002 laptop, Compaq
Presario 2100, still works well but apparently uses hda not sda):
----- begin -----
davd at davd-laptop:~$ sudo parted /dev/hda print
[sudo] password for davd:
Disk /dev/hda: 40.0GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 32.3kB 38.6GB 38.6GB primary ext3 boot
2 38.6GB 40.0GB 1448MB extended
5 38.6GB 40.0GB 1448MB logical linux-swap
Information: Don't forget to update /etc/fstab, if necessary.
----- end -----
· I believe this means there's no record of any earlier partitions.

That's strange. I thought hda was universally replaced with sda by now.
Do:
sudo parted /dev/hda print
