I also use this command whenever I need to identify partitions by their labels:
$
ls /dev/disk/by-label -g
Sometimes I use GParted if it comes along with a live DVD or USB, click to run it which shows you more info including disk labels.
Like the above, partition sda 1, 2, 3 are primary partitions, of which the partition labelled eMachines is for Windows 7 system, sda4 is an extended partition containing the following logical partitions:
sda5, used for storing data
sda6, Mint 11 partition
sda9, Mint 12 partition
sda8, Ubuntu partition
sda7, a small partition for swap
