Another way to get the partitions and how they're formatted without 
actually going into the fdisk program is to just type:
fdisk -l
This will list the partitions and their file system type for all your 
hard drives and, if you just want a specific hard drive:
fdisk -l /dev/hda
   <or>
fdisk -l /dev/hdb
   etc...

This allows you to view your partition table without actually going into 
the fdisk program and potentially messing up your disk.
