fdisk error

[gdanko]

I installed FC6 PPC on a dual G5 with a 120GB SATA drive and a 160GB SATA drive. During the install I only formatted the 120G drive for the OS itself. The installer created the partition table and I sliced out /boot, swap, and /. After booting the OS, fdisk sees no partitions on /dev/sda.

[root@baracus ~]# /sbin/fdisk /dev/sda
Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel
Building a new DOS disklabel. Changes will remain in memory only,
until you decide to write them. After that, of course, the previous
content won't be recoverable.


The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 14593.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite)

However, df shows everything:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda4 108G 4.8G 97G 5% /
/dev/sda3 248M 30M 206M 13% /boot
/dev/sdb1 147G 26G 114G 19% /data

I am curious why fdisk will not see anything???

sda1 is a small 32k partition the installer created.
I do not remember what sda2 ended up being.
sda5 is swap.

This is confusing to me!

Fdisk can't see mac partitions, try parted
read the parted man page first, as it has a diffrent commands then fdisk
and be careful you can easly mess up a partition table with ether.

the sda1 is a mac boot partition

fdisk can not see window partitions and when I try to open the disks I get 'can not mount' what is going on?
Have I lost my windows instalation and data?

Please help
