I tried to partition my disk with fdisk the way I wanted. It had the usual Linux partitions and a partition that I was going to use for Window 7. I wanted to make this an LVM2 partition, but that didn't work;
Good old fdisk is indeed old, and there are much easier ways to do what you wanted to do. I've used this product several times with perfect results (so far): http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php Of course if you already have a working linux machine you can install gparted and use it that way to move, resize and create partitions. Very easy and almost painless.
