Do I wipe out the offending data in sda1 to remove the partition boundary and then reboot to correct the partition order? Something along the lines of:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 skip=28 count=3
(just to catch either side of the sector 29 problem?)
How is the correct way to handle this if I want to preserve the linux install? Or, is that just not worth it, so I should just fdisk -l /dev/sda and then d,d,d,d,d?
Well, a follow-on question, I delete sda1 in fdisk and linux continues to boot fine, but the partitions are still: sda2 sda3 sda5 sda6 sda7 What is the best way to rename sda2->sda2, sda3->sda2? (or does it even matter to the windows reinstall?) still booting from the first primary, even though it is sda2?? -- David C.
