(on Fedora.. not sure about other distros ) dmesg ( or maybe catvar-log-dmesg ) grep -i sector will show you the drives that were detected at boot time.

you can view the partions defined by doing ( fordev-sda for example ) fdisk -ldev-sda that gives:
Diskdev-sda: 40.0 GB, 40000000000 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors-track, 4863 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

anything after '4' is most likely on the extended partion. For a drive with an extended partion: fdisk -ldev-sdb

the 'extended' partion covers the rest of the disk. The logical ( #5 or larger ) partions are carved out of the large, Extended partion.
