when i do

fdisk -l

"bash: fdisk: command not found" is the message i get. I've read up on mounting and looked around, and it always tells me to run an fdisk command, yet my terminal is telling me its not a proper command.

I successfully ran man fdisk and i really didnt understand anything the fdisk manual stated.

Any ideas?

Its not in your path:

/sbin/fdisk

If your logged in as root and its not working, you'll need to add the /sbin directory to your path and so on.

ah ok

If you want it to always be in your path, either edit your ~/.bashrc in your users home directory or edit the global file which is or can be /etc/profile

Directions I followed:

Create a directory in which the Windows partition will be mounted by typing the following command. For example:

mkdir /mnt/windows

Before you can access the partition, you will need to mount it in the directory you just created. As root, type the following command at a shell prompt (where /dev/hda1 is the Windows partition you found via Hardware Browser):

mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows

----
Result:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb1,
or too many mounted file systems

AHHH!

You just asked this in a new thread where it actually belongs as it has nothing to do with your fdisk command. Please do not double post.
