Can you descibe it more specified?
What commands have you used?

Have mounted the drive before trying with fdisk? Check with df.

Tell us exactly how you did when you tried!

It sounds like you are trying to partition the (readonly) Gentoo CD instead of the harddrive.

Do this to find out what device name to use for your harddrive (it is probably /dev/sda rather than /dev/hda).
