Making Partition in Linux

Disk /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table
[root@ol5-11gr2 ~]#
[root@ol5-11gr2 ~]# fdisk /dev/sdb
Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel
Building a new DOS disklabel. Changes will remain in memory only,
until you decide to write them. After that, of course, the previous
content won't be recoverable.

Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite)
