Hi "some one" :),
I need more specifications.
In my case, Fdisk failed for detecting SCSI in VMware, a problem still un=
der investigation.
Please post more specifications of the harddisk, like interface connectio=
n

please report if your disk is detected using another Fdisk program, like =
the following GPL-licensed
program: http://www.mecronome.de/xfdisk/download.php
