Using FDISK to edit partition tables is like using a bread knife for
keyhole surgery.... not very subtle and likely to leave big scars.
There are lots of partition editors available nowadays, Partition Magic
being one. For those of you who have short arms and deep pockets (like most
of the hams I know) you can normally download a trial version of these
programmes. That at least will let you jigger about with your disk (and make
the simple problems worse.) Most trials give you 30 days to play with the
programme which is ample time. Of course the truly deformed with teeny tiny
arms and pockets that reach to their ankles will be able to install cracked
versions of these programmes.
I'm sure I read of a Linux partition editor that was free. You need
Linux to run it but as you can get CDs which boot to Linux, you may find
that effective cross platform partition editing ends up costing only buttons,
which should suit the pockets of most hams, leaving money left to invest in
soap and other personal hygiene items :-)
