42 Windows 2000 dynamic extended partition marker
If a partition table entry of type 0x42 is present in the legacy partition
table, then W2K ignores the legacy partition table and uses a proprietary
partition table and a proprietary partitioning scheme (LDM or DDM). As the
Microsoft KnowledgeBase writes: Pure dynamic disks (those not containing any
hard-linked partitions) have only a single partition table entry (type 42) to
define the entire disk. Dynamic disks store their volume configuration in a
database located in a 1-MB private region at the end of each dynamic disk.
an other Windows fantasy...
from the forum for future reference:
Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders, total 976773168 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x5bd39133
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 63 2047 992+ 42 SFS
/dev/sda2 2048 616447 307200 42 SFS
/dev/sda3 * 616448 507691007 253537280 42 SFS
/dev/sda4 507691008 976771119 234540056 42 SFS
so I would backup sda4 if possible then remove it entirely (with the risk of
removing windows!).
Is there an openSUSE official way to manage this?
