Hi Paul,
good to hear from you. I hoped that Tom and Marko would join us again, but
they are lurking only and are reluctant a bit :)
If I had to do it on my own machine I would be done by now (fixed or otherwise
knowing the result).
OK.
We have that error
# cfdisk -Ps
FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 2: Partition ends in the final partial
cylinder
That's the one making trouble, and you indicated we can get rid of it now).
...
/dev/sda2 4463 4717 2048287+ e W95 FAT16 (LBA)
...
Can you use the easier version of cfdisk ? Gives you display like that ?
It would be easier for us to modify the layout with it.
Btw, this is my disk ...
# cfdisk

Give me an answer.
Stay tuned.
