Partitioner does not show partitions

[Amila Liyanaarachchi]

Well one of those partitions is 100MB not 100GB :) I guess that makes the
equation correct.

PC consists of a Intel DG43GT main board, more tech information is available
at
http://www.intel.com/cd/products/services/emea/eng/motherboards/desktop/DG43GT/overview/424010.htm
No HW RAID.

I'll boot it from a live cd and check what you have suggested.

Thanks a lot for the reply.
