Reset partitions numbers 24 weeks 6 days ago

I just decided to delete my Windows partition and only use Linux.

My old partition table was:

sda1: W7 boot partition sda2: W7 partition sda3: Linux sda4: start of logic partitions sda5: swap.

I deleted sda1 and sda2, and then expanded sda3.

I ran:sudo sfdisk -uS -l /dev/sdaOutput:Disk /dev/sda: 38913 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track Warning: extended partition does not start at a cylinder boundary. DOS and Linux will interpret the contents differently. Units = sectors of 512 bytes, counting from 0

Device Boot Start End #sectors Id System /dev/sda1 * 63 102062079 102062017 83 Linux /dev/sda2 1020

F12 Failed primary boot drive 3 years 7 weeks ago

strange with fdask -l 3 years 23 weeks ago

hi

i am new to open SUSE 11.1.can anyone help me to figure it out?

Code: linux-w0sv:~/Desktop # fdisk -l

WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sda'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted.

Warning: ignoring extra data in partition table 5  <<<--what short of warning it is?--->>

I have an embeded system which I finally got stable by doing multiple partitions like so:

Disk /dev/sda: 4017 MB, 4017807360 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 488 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x0000e4b5

Device Boot Start End

Sorry for the dupe post -- got no traction in Hardware & Laptops, so I thought maybe that was the wrong place.

I have a new laptop, windows pre-installed (of course they used the whole partition table, so I had to figure out which ones I could delete, grr). Anyway I repartitioned it before finding out about the 4096 blocksize issue.
