I had an experience w/ DSL where it would say FATAL ERROR when I tried to use cfdisk. Note: Running from CD. I solved the FATAL ERROR problem by instead of just typing 'cfdisk', I typed 'sudo cfdisk'.
Second, if things get messed up, you could try 'cfdisk -z'. The '-z' option zeroes the partition table. WARNING: This erases your partition table!
Third, about the type 7c type disk partition, just change that from 7c to what ever you need. (eg. 83, Linux partition.)
PS: I read this story where someone's Win XP wouldn't boot, so someone booted KNOPPIX, used cfdisk, and found out the partition was some crazy partition type. So they changed it back to NTFS, and everything worked!
