Please can you give an example on using sfdisk to save the partition table?

You don't need no other special tool other than dd to save your partition table. As root: dd if=/dev/hda of=partition_table.sector bs=512 count=1 The partition table and boot loader are located in sector 0 of the hard-disk. To restore: dd if=/where/you/have/saved/partition_table.sector of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1 That's it. Ain't Linux great.
