drive 0x80: C/H/S = 2205/255/63, The number of sectors = 35433216, /dev/ide/hos
t0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc
   Partition num: 0,  Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xc
   Partition num: 1,  Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x82
   Partition num: 2,  Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
