Ah, right, cloning a disk, yes. But the new one would be broken as well, the partition table seems to be broken.
The idea behind cloning, if possible is that you don't destroy the original with your efforts to recover data.
I know, I do that myself. But I save images of each partition separately, not the whole disk. I haven't tried, but I have my doubts that utilities like "fdisk" could work on a disk image :-?
It works if you set it up as a loopback filesystem, IIRC, i.e. # man losetup # losetup -f /dev/loop0 # losetup filesystem.img /dev/loop0 # fdisk /dev/loop0 # losetup -d Russell Jones -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
