Are the new partitions for a linux system? If so, there is a solution: sw raid.
Make md_d0 a (degraded), partitionable raid1 array of sda3. mdadm --assemble --level 1 --force -n 1 --run --auto=p2 /dev/md_d0 /dev/sda3 Once you have md_d0, you can create md_d0p1 as a regular partition, md_d0p2 as an extended partition, and 4 logical partitions inside md_d0p2. You may have to be explicit on the kernel command line: md=d0,/dev/sda3 root=/dev/md_d0 -- Respectfully, Nicholas Leippe Sales Team Automation, LLC 1335 West 1650 North, Suite C Springville, UT 84663 +1 801.853.4090 http://www.salesteamautomation.com /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
