VERSION parted -v GNU Parted 1.6.15
rpm -q parted parted-1.6.15-4.1 PROBLEM After I resized a FAT partition with an NTLDR boot sector, attempting to boot it hangs immediately with no output. I "resized" the partition without changing the size - the number of blocks in the partition was the same before and after, only the contents was altered. WORKAROUND Reinstalling the NTLDR boot sector with the FIXBOOT command on the emergency console (after booting off the Windows install disk) solves the problem. FIX I can send more information to help solve the problem, but I have a quick fix which works in my circumstances. The following output from cmp indicates the bytes changed which broke the boot, and which can be restored to fix it: 25 77 377 26 0 377 28 0 377 >From left to right, this gives the (1-based!) offset in decimal in the first column, the initial value in octal in the second, and the value after resizing in octal in the third. I'm having difficaulty matching my boot sector against the expected layout - can you tell me the meaning of these bytes?
