First, make sure you have backed everything up and have nothing on the PC you don't want to lose. The FDISK command will overwrite the entire partition table and render everything on the hard drive useless. Then you start FDisk from the console mode, not within Windows, and then you delete the existing partitions if you don't want them, and then start over with partitions sized to what you want.

Do keep in mind that for most cases, you should use a Windows-based partition editor such as EaseUS Partition Master. They are easier to use and lets you configure existing partitions without deleting partitions first.

Floppy disks cannot be "partitioned", as they do not have an area on the disk to hold a partition table. They are designed to have a single file system spanning the entire disk.
