The FDISK of any DOS has always been very limited, mimicking Microsoft's
installation procedure ("I'm the only operating system, overwrite any
previous code").
For a blank harddisk FDISK will do just fine.

'Drive' is a typical DOS terminology, meaning partition/volume, thus
sda1 etc. It's used as 'Drive C:'. Basically referring to everything
which has a driveletter assigned (floppy, harddisk, cdrom, network
shares, etc).
More advanced operating systems have improved partitioning tools that
also take multiple operating systems into consideration and allow to
setup multibooting by installing a bootmanager or including previous
operating systems to their own bootloader.
