newb here

fdsik command not found

tried /sbin/fdisk
I then get this:
BusyBox v1.7.0 (2008-02-26 19:25:17 IST) multi-call binary

Usage: fdisk [-luv] [-C CYLINDERS] [-H HEADS] [-S SECTORS] [-b SSZ] DISK

Change partition table

Options:
-l List partition table(s)
-u Give Start and End in sector (instead of cylinder) units
-s PARTITION Give partition size(s) in blocks
-b 2048 (for certain MO disks) use 2048-byte sectors
-C CYLINDERS Set the number of cylinders
-H HEADS Set the number of heads
-S SECTORS Set the number of sectors
-v Give fdisk version

All the arguments to fdisk in square brackets are optional, DISK is required.
You must tell it which disk to access.
i.e., /sbin/fdisk /dev/sda (adjust accordingly to your needs)

goto /sbin, you should be able to use fdisk.
