fdisk works with partitions... eg fdisk /dev/hda1 or "fdisk /dev/hdb2" etc.. you specified the device type but not the device.

Is it really hda? Is it the first IDE/ATA drive plugged on to the first connection on the first controller?
I use SATA so my first drive is sda.
(this is before mounting and fdisk MAKES partitions, it doesn't work on them, unless I've lost it)

regularly you in all likelihood have the cd, you progression to command and ask your self in fixboot, and then fixmbr, that's draw close boot checklist. this could fix homestead windows boot demonstrate. because of the reality you dont have cd, reinstall linux to do away with grub errors, inspite of the undeniable fact which you will could desire to maintain linux fixed.

You may not have mounted the device.
