Thanks Jim. I only want to recreate /dev/sda1, as /dev/sda2 contains the images of the different OS's I use for testing. If I only run the first command, will Parted recreate /dev/sda1 and leave /dev/sda2 alone, or should I use an alternative to fdisk/cfdisk that can 1) start at sector 63 instead of sector 2048 and 2) use a given sector as end instead of a size in MB? Thank you.
