I want to fix my partition without delete it. Is it possible? How? Seems I should run fdisk from live CD, what's the command sequence then?
I'm using Fedora 16. Recently I can't use cfdisk since every time it would give the below warning:
sudo cfdisk
FATAL ERROR: Bad logical partition 10: enlarged logical partitions overlap
Press any key to exit cfdisk
cfdisk works few monthes before.
I've done a lot of google, some thread suggest that maybe it's because of some bad windows partitioner. Partition Magic specified. But what I did use was the one built in Windows. I'm not sure if this is the cause.
