I have rebooted the machine also to see no effect.
Actually I am really puzzled why it is happening so.
I partitioned it such a way that I didn't even miss a single sector.
I have done these things to be in the safer side.
1) Partitioned
2) Used fdisk again to see the partition table to be empty.
3) Rebooted to use fdisk. No use.
4) Again partitioned.
5) rebooted to see the changes. No use.

You need to reboot before the kernel picks up the new partition table -
I can see the newly created partitions listed using the "p" command. I
used "w" command to write the partition changes permenantly. If I quit
fdisk and use it again to see the partitions, it is showing empty
partition table.
fdisk relies on the kernel copy of the partition table, not the recently
overwritten on-disk copy.
