This is the result when I do "sudo fdisk h"
Kan inte öppna h - that is "can not open h


When I do "sudo fdisk" I will get this

Användning: fdisk [-l] [-b SSZ] [-u] enhet
Exempelvis: fdisk /dev/hda (för den första IDE-disken) =the first IDEdisk
eller: fdisk /dev/sdc (för den tredje SCSI-disken) = the third SCSI disk
eller: fdisk /dev/eda (för den första PS/2-ESDI-enheten)
eller: fdisk /dev/rd/c0d0 eller: fdisk /dev/ida/c0d0 (för RAID-enheter)

This is "sudo fdisk -l"

Enhet Start Början Slut Block Id System
/dev/sda1 1 869 6980211 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/sda2 * 5434 18182 102403035 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda3 870 5248 35174317+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda4 5249 19457 114133792+ 5 Utökad
/dev/sda5 5249 5433 1485981 82 Linux växling / Solaris
/dev/sda6 18183 18573 3140676 83 Linux
/dev/sda7 18574 18953 3052318+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda8 18954 19458 4050900 82 Linux växling / Solaris


So, if my interpretation of Your advice is right, it will be
"sudo fdisk /dev/sda6" (this is PCLinuxOS, root)
"sudo fdisk /dev/sda7" (this is PCLinuxOS, home)
"sudo fdisk /dev/sda8" (this is PCLinuxOS, swap)

Is that correct?
