Should say sda2->sda1 :)
OK, I guess my explanation of what I want to do may be confusing. So basically after deleting the first primary partition in fdisk to get rid of the malware created partition, I'm left with an empty partition-table for partition 'Nr' 1 which causes the original primary partition to now appear as sda2 instead of sda1 -- even though there is nothing in partition number 1. The print partitions in (x) expert mode of fdisk shows this well: Nr AF Hd Sec Cyl Hd Sec Cyl Start Size ID 1 00 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 00 2 00 1 1 0 254 63 1023 63 315291627 07 3 00 0 1 1023 254 63 1023 315291690 174931785 0f 4 00 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 00 5 00 1 1 1023 254 63 1023 63 3903732 82 6 00 1 1 1023 254 63 1023 63 48821472 83 7 00 1 1 1023 254 63 1023 63 122206392 83 Is there any way I can get rid of the Nr 1 entry completely so that what is now Nr 2 becomes Nr1 (and that should cause sda2 to become sda1 again)?? I don't think you can do this in fdisk, but could you do this with parted by moving Nr 2 to the front of the disk? Or is this just asking for trouble? -- David C.
