No stress. :)

The error from fdisk was because the "disk" it was given was _really_ 
blank.  Not even a data structure at the start (called a disk label)
to say what to expect in the way of partition structures.  (there are
a few options... dos style partitions are not the only choice)

But, sounds like you've got it figured, so all good. :)
