Can't find partition

what is the OS setup you are running? IE: do you dual boot with Windows or another Linux distro? all partitions should have been detected upon install of MDK.

 

what you could try to do is, use Mandrake Control Center->mount points->partitions. check the partition layout & see if they are all mounted. if not, click on each unmounted partition, mount it, then click "done" when finished. let it write to fstab when it asks you. then check your /mnt directory & see if they are shown.

 

please note....... be careful if/when you do that. DO NOT click format or resize or you will lose data. just mount any partitions that aren't moutned. also, while you're at it, you can give the partitions names that would be helpful in identifying them. IE: if you have a Windows partition, instead of it showing up as /mnt/hdablah, you can name it Windows, or whatever.

 

if the above doesn't pan out, then please post your partition setup & your /etc/fstab file here.
