Tom, I was not sure about it ... I thought that might confuse the partition table layout logic. I wanted to make it "by the book" as much as possible. OK. Let's assume that your are right. That would not necessitate touching sda2 with W95 FAT16. Paul, you are following the thread, are you :-) . Tom, now there is a problem with Extended partition ending on 12162 boundary, which is end of sda7, and not sda8 as it should be. What do you think can we do to fold sda8 into that Extended partition without remaking the Extended partition entirely ? Perhaps we can fool it (or it is the right thing to do ...) by saving sda8 (W95 FAT32) contents somewhere (like I suggested previously for sda2) and delete sda8. Would that fix the table (at least so it would become workable). After that we could try a trick again by incorporating that free space into sda7 so that allignments would be correct once again. What do you think ?
