Sorry, I don't know what you mean by that.

Can you start us off with:

df -Th

and

sudo parted /dev/sda print

The latter assumes you only have a single drive identified by sda.  Post
the output to both as a reply.

It would obviously help to tell us the commands.  Generally,
partitioning is best done with parted
(http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/index.shtml) or gparted
(http://gparted.sourceforge.net/).
