I used GParted to delete my first partition,then moved my second partition to the beginning of the disk. That all went well, but the partition table still shows an unused entry of 0 blocks listed at partition 1. How do I get rid of that entry and make my old second partition sda1?
View 1 RepliesI'll avoid the details of what got me here and get right to the point.I have two primary partitions on 1 hard drive. sda1 is my fat32 recovery partition and sda2 is my ntfs windows xp partition. I need to know how to change the order around so xp is sda1 by using the terminal in the ubuntu live cd.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI just successfully installed ubuntu 10.10 Meerkat Maverik parallel to manufacturer installed Windows 7 Professional on a newly bought ThinkPad t410. All works find just that on the boot screen instead of 1 Windows partition (usually something like "Windows 7 loader on sda1") I find two Windows partitions. Now, I know that Thinkpads have a recovery partition. Funny is though that both "Windows 7 loader on sda1/2" login to what seems the identical Windows (not one of them the "normal" and the other some form of a recovery).

I've installed Gnewsense on my sda1 and I no longer have the option to load Ubuntu 10.04 on sda2 at boot. As Gnewsense is ext 3 I cannot access my files in my Ubuntu Home dir. Can I simply switch my boot to sda2? It will solve my problem for the medium term.

I've just installed Debian 6 on an old pc so i can use it as a file server.As far as i know installation went fine but it didn't detect my Edimax wireless network card.The problem I'm having is using FDISK. I tried to explore my CD drive and i got an error message "Unable to mount location". I wanted to see if there was an installer to install my network card becuase the manufacturer says it's supported by Linux. When i use the su - command and try using fdisk -l it just displays the command prompt and no hdd info. I tried it the other day becuase I want to mount all the physical drives and one logical volume. This is only the first step for me configuring this computer as a server and i'm suck already and ready to give up and try Windows server (whcih i don't really want to do).Has anyone got any ideas how i can mount my cdrom and why FDISK isn't working?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have used fdisk to create two new partition.
Before this partition, I had 6 partition of which /dev/sda6 was the boot partition. I deleted /dev/sda5 partition and hence the earleir /dev/sda6 became /dev/sda5. Now I created two new partitions /dev/sda6 and /dev/sda7.
Due to this change in device label of /dev/sda6 I am not able to boot my computer.
Is there any method to change the disk label of /dev/sda5 to /dev/sda6 ?????
I would like to remove/create partitions on a harddrive without going into the menu of fdisk.
can one pass options to fdisk to create and delete without going into the menu? So that I can write a script to do that automatically.
Or if fdisk isn't capable, what other alternatives do I have?

I've a new external usb drive that was shipped formatted fat32. I wanted to convert this to ext3; so I performed a mkfs.ext3. I then noticed that fdisk was still reporting the usb drive as fat32 (even after reboot), but mount was reporting ext3: so I fdisk'ed the drive and change the partition's system id to 83 (Linux)
