Based on the limited information available my best guess is that you are 
looking at different disk drives as the device names can change between 
boots.

In any case, try comparing the outputs of 'parted -l' (needs root) and 
'lsblk -f'. If you still see a discrepancy please paste the full output 
of both commands.


Kind regards,
Andrei
