When you type Fdisk at the command prompt, the Fdisk program has no way of knowing
what you are trying to do. It's a program that does what YOU tell it and will do
the whole thing over as many times as you want. Fdisk doesn't care if you ever finish
your project.
Just restart the system and select only option 4, if you want to Check your previous
work.

There's nothing to learn from someone who already agrees with you.
