how can I see my partitions?

[Parido]

Hello all
I have one hda(40GB) and one sda(120GB). On the hda I have only files (it is ntfs) and in sda I have installed XP and FC5. Also in sda I have an ntfs partition which is empty and I want to format it in FAT32 so it could be accessible from FC5 .
1) Should I try it (to format from XP?) or it w'ont work?
2)Is there a way to find out where my boot loader is installed?
3)Is MBR and GRUB the same thing or not? :(
I don't wan't to make a mistake and can't access to any of the 2 systems.

1) Should I try it (to format from XP?) or it w'ont work?. If you want it to be FAT32 then yes do it from XP.

2)Is there a way to find out where my boot loader is installed? Yes, although at the moment I can't recall how, perhaps someone else can chime in.

3)Is MBR and GRUB the same thing or not? :( . No they are not the same Grub is just a boot loader MBR is the master boot record .. read more here :http://searchsmb.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0,290660,sid44_gci214086,00.html
I don't wan't to make a mistake and can't access to any of the 2 systems. Unlikely, given what you want to do.

Thanks for answering! I found almost the way. I did this
" Add to /etc/fstab
/dev/hda6 /mnt/windowsd vfat rw,nouser,auto,uid=500,gid=500,umask=077 0 0

# mkdir /mnt/windowsd
# mount /dev/hda6"
I changed the hda6 to sda5 which is the partiton I wanted to "see" and it works!
