Hello, I have a hard drive startaing at 63 Partition 1 does not start on physical sector boundary. 1+0 records in 1+0 records out dev/sdb1 * 63 2050047 2049985 1001M c W95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/sdb2 2050048 14338047 12288000 5.9G 83 Linux Can I fix it easily? Actually, this was the initial disk of the computer which came with a fat32 partition Can I backup the partition, and modify the partition table for this partition only without any trouble? I guess that it is a boot partition recognized by grub menuentry 'FreeDOS (on /dev/sdb1)' --class freedos --class os $menuentry_id_option 'osprober-chain-16D0-8CB8' { insmod part_msdos insmod fat set root='hd1,msdos1' if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd1,msdos1 --hint-efi=hd1,msdos1 --hint-baremetal=ahci1,msdos1 --hint='hd1,msdos1' 16D0-8CB8 else search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 16D0-8CB8 fi parttool ${root} hidden- drivemap -s (hd0) ${root} chainloader +1 In addition, sdb2 is seen as a linux partition by fdisk, but as a ntfs partition by gparted (and testdisk). I guess that it correct. HPFS - NTFS 127 155 29 892 128 4 12288000 NTFS, blocksize=4096, 6291 MB / 6000 MiB fsck /dev/sdb2 fsck from util-linux 2.28.2 Unsupported: replay_log() Volume is dirty.
