you must fdisk the proper disc device (e.g. fdisk /dev/sda). That
enters you on the fdisk shell mode, if you press 'm' it will show you
help. The sequence I do usually is:
1 - Press 'p' to see what's on that disk
2 - Press 't' to enter the flag partition mode, it will ask you
for the partition yo want to flag, if it's sda1, you should enter '1';
then it will ask you for the partition type hex code, offering you to see
the codes by typing 'L'. Here you must type 'fd'.
3 - Press 'v' to see if everything is ok, you should see a message
about approximately 63 unallocated blocks, which it's normal if you have
the whole disk partitioned.
4 - Press 'w' to save changes.
Hope it helps.
