Did you reboot after you repartitioned the IDE drive? You can usually

I don't think that's necessary. fdisk calls the ioctl necessary to
re-read the partition table after it's done. In fact it's more likely to
work as expected on IDE disks than with SCSI (try playing with some
fibre channel devices!). However, you can run:
"sfdisk -R /dev/hdd"
which will cause the kernel to reload the partition table. It certainly
can't hurt :-).
