Are you sure you wrote the partition to disk? If you pressed "q" to quit the application without first pressing "w" to write your changes to disk your entries would be lost. From what you state you have a disk /dev/sde, on which you have created/saved only one partition, /dev/sde1. -- Regards, Mick
