Hello, I tried to modified a partition table by using fdisk, but it failed. Now I am in trouble. I setup the disk inside an external usb enclosure and try to access it. After I turn the enclosure on, I only have a short time to interact with the disk (maybe 15 s). During this time I can make a fdisk and I get: Omitting partitions after #60. They will be deleted if you save this partition table.

How can I avoid to lost the hand on the disk?
