Have you tried # parted -l, fdisk works with cylinders.
here's the parted output:
Model: ATA WDC WD7500BPKT-6 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 750GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B

fdisk can't deal with non-4096B sectors. It sees only 512, 1024, and 2048 as valid sizes. Use GPD instead of DOS partition types, *and* use parted instead of fdisk. The good news it that there's most likely nothing wrong with your drive. Cheers --"It's really weird how your life changes. Tonight I'm drinking water. Four years ago? Opium.
