Hi,
$ fdisk -v
fdisk v2.9w

$fdisk -l  /dev/hda

Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1027 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1           646      1027   3068415   83  Linux
/dev/hda2   *       608       645    305235   83  Linux
/dev/hda3             1       607   4875696   83  Linux
$ fdisk -l -u /dev/hda

Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1027 cylinders
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1      10361925  16498754   3068415   83  Linux
/dev/hda2   *   9751455  10361924    305235   83  Linux
/dev/hda3            63   9751454   4875696   83  Linux

Do you see a difference? To see all disks you can use 

   fdisk -l -u /dev/hd? /dev/sd? 

or try another program

  sfdisk -l -uS
