fat32, fdisk and partitioning

I recently decided to partition my hard disk to incorporate another operating sy. on my computer but I can't seem to be able to run fdisk to split the drive? I am using fat32 and this is not the first problem I have incountered.

I have checked with the microsoft search browser but the dos command doesnot recognize fdisk from the prompt.

You can't do it from within Windows. You must boot with a real-mode DOS
floppy and try from there.
