Use fdisk to make sda2 sda1

mpmackenna · 01-25-2010, 06:26 PM

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? Thanks, Mike

You mention fdisk in the title---either that or GParted should do it. (Delete it---I'm not so sure about how to movek a partition and have it appear as #1)

For (maybe) better help, post the output of "fdisk -l" (ell, not one, and run it as root)
