I was wondering why I couldn't access the above, it was a Windows 7 system.
Solution - To view it you need to use parted and you can then mount the devices as normal.
parted /dev/sda print
Disk /dev/sda: 320GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
1 1049kB 211MB 210MB fat32 EFI system partition boot
2 211MB 345MB 134MB Microsoft reserved partition msftres
3 345MB 128GB 128GB ntfs Basic data partition
4 128GB 293GB 165GB ntfs Basic data partition
5 293GB 320GB 26.8GB ntfs Basic data partition hidden
Information: Don't forget to update /etc/fstab, if necessary.
ntsf-3g /dev/sda3 /mnt/sda3
