Do I wipe out the offending data in sda1 to remove the partition boundary and then reboot to correct the partition order? Something along the lines of:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 skip=28 count=3
Jep, that should do the trick. [..]
Well, a follow-on question,
I delete sda1 in fdisk and linux continues to boot fine, but the partitions are still:
sda2 sda3 sda5 sda6 sda7
What is the best way to rename sda2->sda2, sda3->sda2? (or does it even matter to the windows reinstall?) still booting from the first primary, even though it is sda2??
Try 'fdisk /dev/sda' -> 'f' (fix partition order). I do not know what other tools might be able to, I'd probably use vche to do it by hand ;) -dnh -- In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded. -- Terry Pratchett, Lords and Ladies -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
