fdisk -l
Small letter L-

Hey again papasita ... don't lose hope yet ;-)

Firstly, as mentioned by ztcoracat ... the command must be run while you are logged in as the "root" user (equivalent to Administrator in Windows), or by using the "su" command to temporarily become root, or by using the "sudo" command before fdisk, if your system is set up to use sudo.

Secondly, the command is : fdisk -l ... The option is a small letter l, not the number 1. So on the command line:

# fdisk -l

For clarity ... the "#" is not something you write, it is the command prompt that linux shows when you are logged in, or have become the "root" user (as opposed to the usual "$" - dollar sign - command prompt, which denotes that a regular user is logged in.).

Please paste the output of the command here.

In the Fedora terminal type:

su and hit Enter.

Than type fdisk -l and hit Enter.

Post the output of what the terminal returns.

... this is extremely odd. Is it possible for you to take and upload a picture of your screen, showing the command you entered and the (lack of) output ?
