Hi jassengabriel,
Welcome to Linux forums!

It will be better if you start a new thread and out your query as this will get the attention of all the other members easily.

About your doubt... i am not very sure of the same! but you can use a linux installation CD and type the following command at boot prompt.

linux rescue

after this type

fdisk -l

and post the content on the new thread.
