I have just found the info in dmesg when i do a "dmesg |grep SCSI", not
sure why i did not see it before but thanks for all the replies.



You need to identify what the problem is with fdisk. Fdisk *should* be found by root, and it should list every disk on the system if you don't tell it which disk to display.

Did you just enter the command:

fdisk -l

The parameter is a letter l, not the number 1. The path to fdisk should be /sbin/fdisk.
