I am not sure why you want to know the size of the cylinder for your hard disk and specifically for the command fdisk. But, just FYI, fdisk supports entry of partition sizes in megabytes and other forms. When it prompts for the last cylinder location, you can enter in +320M and that will atomatically set the last cylinder to create a 320MB partition or close to it.
