Which partition am I running 10.04 on?

Asked by Bill Campbell

After a power failure (or maybe a Win7 update), I've had to re-install a disk image of Win 7 and (I thought) re-install Ubuntu. It appears I now have two instances of Ubuntu on my hard drives (I have two.) The two instances of Ubuntu, both -38, show up in the grub. I want to keep the original and erase the new one. How do I tell which partition each is running from?

if you run:

sudo blkid; mount

you can see what is mounted where and what the partition is
