Do you know of a modern tool that will clone a partition table using the exact same sectors as the original? Even if it thinks that the boundaries are wrong, because the old disk was done on CHS and the new one wants to use megabytes.
dd will do that.
No, it doesn't.
It clones the partition table itself, that is, the primary partition table only. The extended partition _table_ is not cloned unless you clone the entire disk.
Sorry, I missed the bit about this being about extended partitions/tables. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (5.9°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free DNS hosting, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
