HowTo convert Primary Partition to Logical (ie move it inside the Extended Partition)
Hi :)
Around 2008 i seem to remember PartEd on the command-line was able to rescue deleted partitions and gave a choice of whether to recover the partition as a Primary or Logical Partition. I have tried testdisk but didn't really grok what i was doing. I successfully moved a "Windows Recovery" partition to the end of my hard-drive, immediately after the drive's Extended Partition.

Hi!
It's been some time since I've used Gparted, but I believe that Gparted still have an option when you edit partition to choose what you want it to be - primary or logical (is what matters to you). If you choose logical, I believe it should be added to extended partition automagically. If not, delete that partition (if that's not a problem?), then create new one (logical) and add it to extended partition manually. But before you try this post the output of: Code:
fdisk -l |
Hi :)
I don't mind deleting and then undeleting the partition, hopefully making it change to a logical in the process but i can't just delete it. It is the "Recovery Partition" for Windows so it's FAT32 and very flaky. Regards from Tom :) |
Yes, but you didn't post the output.
Did you try to edit partition with GParted and simply change it from primary to logical or move it to extended partition? |
