Well that's not good.  What kind of system is this, exactly?  (In
particular, what sorts of drives are connected?)

This error means that fdisk itself is bombing out, so we need to
figure out why.  After the crash, you should be at a DOS prompt.
Please try running "fdisk /info /tech" by hand; it should provide some
sort of diagnostic.

One thing you can try is selecting "No large disk support (required
for some broken BIOSes)" at the first prompt.  Since you are using the
whole disk, this will actually not make any difference in the end; it
only matters if you want to partition the drive in a complex way.
