It's a well known fact that Windows sometimes differently enumerates
partitions and people also make mistakes :-) Even yourself admitted
latter that you didn't know what you were doing.
Anyway, you can find out where is your NTFS partition by typing the below
as root in one line:
for i in `fdisk -lu | egrep '^/dev/' | awk '{print $1}'` ; do echo $i; od -c $i | head -1 ; done
