It should have partitions /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb2 etc. You might need to do this to get them to become visible on /dev/sdb however, since linux needs to be told when the partition table changes. Either that, or reboot after you do that cp thing to see the new partitions.
DO NOT type 'w' if you get anything but a blank message! All you want to do is write back the SAME boot sector to make fdisk tell Linux to reread it's partition table.
