Type df at Bash Prompt or goto KDE control panel and expand the Information tree and then click on disks, to see partition table.
If you can see your DOS partitions there then checkout their names i.e. /dev/hdaX where X is a number. Then try to use that name in mount command.
If you can't find your DOS partitions in any of this. Then your Partition table might have some conflict. Best way to deal with it is to reinstall the Linux with LBA Mode (Large Binary Array Mode) enabled in Advanced Disk Configuration.
Note: Your harddisk must have support for LBA Mode and you have to enable it in Bios Setup on Harddisk Information Secreen. Typically all harddisks having capacity above or equal to 10GB have this support enabled by default. But make sure yourself.
