To see the size of and disk-space used of partitions...

for a pretty, graphical view you can use gparted. If it is installed it will be under:
System -> Administration -> Partition Editor

if it's not installed you can remedy that by using synaptic (I assume mint has that or a similar app since it's based on Ubuntu) or just typing the following command into a terminal:

sudo apt-get install gparted
