For a list of all drives use:

ckasso at ubuntu:~$ sudo sfdisk -s
/dev/hda:  58652496
total: 58652496 blocks

For a list of all partitions use:

ckasso at ubuntu:~$ sudo sfdisk -l

Disk /dev/hda: 116374 cylinders, 16 heads, 63 sectors/track
Warning: extended partition does not start at a cylinder boundary.
DOS and Linux will interpret the contents differently.
Warning: The partition table looks like it was made
  for C/H/S=*/255/63 (instead of 116374/16/63).
For this listing I'll assume that geometry.
Units = cylinders of 8225280 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0
