fdisk
fdisk /dev/hda
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 2490.
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)
Command (m for help): t
Partition number (1-6): 4
Hex code (type L to list codes): 5
Command (m for help): w
That oughta do it.
{Note: Linux fdisk, not DOS or Winblows}
