First of all.. did u format ur hard disk after making partition with FDISK Command..

if u din, then it will not show u the partition..

if u have formatted then go further

U din tell wat is the modle no of ur hard disk..

is the hard disk is new or already OS installed???

If not check the hard disk with the hard disk utillity which is available in the following site..

if the report is ok..

then the way u partition is wrong..
 
 update me after checking..

Rais i know your trying to help , but would you mind Speaking in English.

The Steps for Setting up a Disk are

1st Partition it, unless you have any plans to do some thing Fancy, just make one Big Partition
You can either do this in Fdisk By booting off a Floppy and Running Fdisk. and following the Steps to make a primary Partition
Or you can Do it in Windows Disk manager (if its a Second Disk) Disk manager is in Computer management, which is in Admin tools , in Control Panel
Control Panel> Admin tools> Computer management> Disk manager

Second Format it
From the boot Floppy Type "Format <Driver Letter>" If its the one and Only Partition in your Machine it will be C: so Format C:
From Windows Right Click on the disk and Click Format
