I Installed my linux in vmware. In linux fdisk and init commands not working why?

Depends on what you did. If the system is running, init is working. If you used the entire virtual disk, fdisk can do nothing (all partitions in use), but should be able to list the partitions.

I'm really sure those commands are working. Probably did not happen what you had expected. Please specify what did you try and what was the result..

As root, try

Code:

fdisk -l    <---------List partitions

and let us know what happens.

'not working' is a rather uninformed error message and as such most commands would not simply say this.

Try supplying actual error messages (if any) or describe in much more detail why YOU think it is not working?
