Why do you want to us fdisk? What are you trying to do?

It's normally safer to use one of the partition manipulation programs (gparted is a free example) but you should make sure that you have a backup of any important data before messing with partitions. It's a good idea to have such a backup anyway; that way there will be less tears when your hard disk expires.
