Hi Matt,
Many thanks for your help,

Here are the results:

Disk /dev/sda: 40.0GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B

ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ sudo parted /dev/sdb print

Disk /dev/sdb: 160GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos

Number  Start   End     Size    Type     File system  Flags
 1      32.3kB  62.9GB  62.9GB  primary  ntfs         boot 
 2      62.9GB  160GB   97.1GB  primary  ntfs              

ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ 

For security reasons, there are more than one partition on HDs.
