    I went through older posts on similar issue, and also there was
    mentioned that using expert26 should sove the case, but tried statrting
    that and then tried (after some ones hints..)

    # best: will show you everything in easily readable format:
    sfdisk -l
    # bare bones:
    cat /proc/partitions
    # check out each possible disk separately:
    fdisk -l /dev/hda
    fdisk -l /dev/sda # ... etc.
    ls -l /proc/ide
    cat /proc/scsi/scsi

    And basicly came up with no disks.
