Disklabel type: gpt This is the problem, Terry. fdisk isn't compatible with GPT (GUID Partition Table). Here's a good overview:

Thanks Carl, but originally the Disklabel type: was DOS. I thought since my current system drive had a type of gpt I should change it. I could post the same information with Disklabel type : DOS and it would not change the problem. There is some other problem

You don't appear to be using the right tools. 'fsck' is filesystem check and repair, not "format." I think Patrick's suggestion makes the most sense in this case.
I've tried to find the command which will format a HD. I believe fdformat is for floppy disks. Can you be more specific as to command name. Also, I not sure who Patrick is and what his suggestion was in this case. I've looked in /sbin /bin /usr/sbin and /usr/bin with little luck.
No sense recreating the wheel, so to speak. :) Patrick also responded to your question. The entire thread can be viewed here:
