/dev/sda16 isn't being initialized



On Ubuntu Linux 6.06.1

Hi, all. This is my first post to this group. By way of introduction:
I'm very new to Linux but I've been using PCs since the mid-1990s and
have even assembled a few from parts. I started with MS-DOS 3.3, moved
to 5.0 and then 6.2, tried Windows 3.1 and found it ghastly, and
switched to OS/2 version 3. I've been using OS/2 ever since. With IBM
encouraging OS/2 users to switch to Linux, though, I thought I'd go
ahead and dive in. Books and online forums have been helpful, and there
are still a few things I need to iron out. This looks like the group
where that could happen.

My PC is a few months old, a 3.0 GHz with a megabyte of RAM on an ASUS
P5WD2 motherboard. I currently have Windows 98 (for the DOS; there are
some old games that work best under the real thing), Windows XP SP2
(I'm the alpha geek among my acquaintences, so it helps to keep up on
how to solve Windows problems), eComStation 1.2R (the latest version of
OS/2), and Ubuntu installed, thanks to the guidance of Felix Miata.

Now for my request for assistance/advice.

I'm only using about half of my 250GB hard disk right now, and that
space is divided into 16 partitions. (This was true before I installed
Ubuntu.) Partition 16 is a FAT32 partition recognized by both XP and
eCS, but is not noticed by Ubuntu. There's no listing in /dev/ for it.
What might I do to force its recognition?

Thanks for any help.
