Yes, this can be dangerous. Be sure to backup everything you can't
readily get on the net).
Here's output from running fdisk on a device (output created with
the help of script(1)):
The <== indicates points where I've entered a command (p=
print partition table, t=change partition type).
Note: in this session I am not actually updating the partition
table: aside from the fact that I entered '83', which is what
the partition /already/ was, I am not doing the final 'write'
(with 'w'), to write the partition table and all of the changes
made. I would have done that just before the 'q'.
(note: to get just a list of the current partition table,
you can do
$> fdisk -l /dev/hdX
from the command-line).

$> fdisk /dev/hdb
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 30515.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
