You can parse the command line "fdisk -l". If the user is not root you will need to log them in and use "./sbin/fdisk -l".

I don't know how to do it without root access.

You could try to read /etc/fstab.
Read acces normaly is granted. Just open the file and parse it - this should work too.
cheers,
