Gparted is indeed pretty; I use it often to get a picture of the partition |
| 12 |
layout (I boot from System Rescue CD: http://www.sysresccd.org/). However, |
| 13 |
it leaves partitions in the wrong order if you insert one before another. |

Fdisk is ideal for fixing that: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
$ fdisk /dev/sda |
| 17 |
x |
| 18 |
f |
| 19 |
w |

Job done. |
