With U**X any *file* with 'x' permission flag set for the current 
effective user ID is executable. The caveat that you have fallen 
into is such, that only the directories listed in the PATH env. 
variable are searched. This usually means that the current directory 
is not (nuless a dot "." is expressly made a part of the PATH).

To execute a file which is not on the path, you need to specify the 
relative or absolute path name of this file. Assuming you're in 
/sbin, you may execute either
  # /sbin/fdisk
or
  # ./fdisk
to the same effect. Obviously, in the latter case you use the 
relative path to the same file.
