Papasita - if you run the #fdisk -l command as suggested by ztcoracat, it will output details that will tell us which partitions exist on your disk and which operating systems are installed. This is a non-invasive command - it doesn't make any changes, it just provides the information we need to enable us to provide you with further assistance.\
I didn`t use linux since fedora 13 or 15 came out and forgot it but thank`s again to remember me for the tips

Hey again papasita ... don't lose hope yet ;-)
Firstly, as mentioned by ztcoracat ... the command must be run while you are logged in as the "root" user (equivalent to Administrator in Windows), or by using the "su" command to temporarily become root, or by using the "sudo" command before fdisk, if your system is set up to use sudo.
Secondly, the command is : fdisk -l ... The option is a small letter l, not the number 1. So on the command line:
# fdisk -l
For clarity ... the "#" is not something you write, it is the command prompt that linux shows when you are logged in, or have become the "root" user (as opposed to the usual "$" - dollar sign - command prompt, which denotes that a regular user is logged in.).

... this is extremely odd. Is it possible for you to take and upload a picture of your screen, showing the command you entered and the (lack of) output ?
