OK, got this done and found a list of my hard drives. Well,
really a list of my partitions -- they're all on one drive. SDA1 is
my XP partition and SDA2 is my Kubuntu partition.

>ubuntu@ubuntu:/mnt$ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
>ubuntu@ubuntu:/mnt$ df -hl /mnt

This one gave me an error that said something like "no such
directory" so I don't know what else to try.

Is there anything to be gained by simply re-installing
Kubuntu on top of what is already there?
