Good old fdisk is indeed old, and there are much easier ways to do what
you wanted to do. I've used this product several times with perfect
results (so far):
http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
Of course if you already have a working linux machine you can install
gparted and use it that way to move, resize and create partitions.
Very easy and almost painless.
