The fdisk command is used to create and modify partitions on a hard drive. Be very careful when using fdisk. You could lose data and corrupt your hard drive if you don't know what you're doing. At the command line type:
$ man fdisk
to get the manual page for the fdisk command.
---- In Linux: After MUCH frustration, digging, trial-and-error, I have answered a related question.
My problem was that I could not delete or resize two "unallocated partitions on my hard drive. All the options (unmount, resize, delete, etc.) were grayed out. I could not unmount them because they were in use.
The answer was to download the GParted LIVE CD from: http://gparted.sourceforge.net.
I simply inserted the GParted LIVE CD, rebooted, and -- voila! -- I could move, resize, and delete all my partitions at will! IMHO, the GParted utility is much easier to use then Partition Magic, and best of all, it is FREE!
I hope this post can help others with a similar problem.
