/dev/sda says "Permission denied"

[srikanth hannabeprakash]

I recently wanted to resize my partition in windows but found that I was unable to delete the partition where I installed Ubuntu.Later after that I restarted the stystem and then on It showed Grub Error 17. So I saw http://stringofthoughts.wordpress.com/2009/05/24/grub-error-17-debianubuntu/
 and ended up with your wesite and installed Ubuntu in live mode as well but when I tried fdisk/dev/sda it says "command not found"
but using /dev/sda it says "Permission Denied".I want to fix Grub error and use ubuntu as it was earlier. How do I it?
