Every Linux distribution has a program called "fdisk" available. RedHat
Linux installator might also include something like this (but I don't know
for sure, I never used RedHat Linux). Could you somehow boot from the
installation CD to a console, launch there "fdisk /dev/hda", then just enter
"p" and tell us, what it says?
