Perhaps the OP should also try "sudo parted --list" in a terminal.  I
forget if parted is installed by default in 10.10.  It seems to be in
natty.

 pongo at seneca:~$ sudo parted --list
 [sudo] password for pongo:

  8      992GB   1000GB  8613MB  logical   fat32

Pretty unambiguous.  Don't look at me! LL's partition scheme.
