dual boot - How do I find out on which partition is my Windows?

I have fully functional Windows and Ubuntu that is broken (I accidentally broke it) and want to reinstall Ubuntu. With Live-CD, I can see:



  • 3 NTFS partitions,

  • one ext4 and

  • one unknown.


How do I find out which partitions belong to Windows? I thought that I might delete everything that wasn't NTFS, but I was afraid. Now I am using the Install Ubuntu alongside [existing systems]... option, but I guess that this will leave my broken Ubuntu untouched. So, again, I need to know which partitions to merge (perhaps add partitions of broken Ubuntu to new Ubuntu?).


Please, how can I learn how my system is divided? Thanks a lot.
