Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2013 14:56:27 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5106838B.3020205@gmx.de> (raw)

Hi all,

sfdisk /dev/sda > sda.out
produces following output:
 >-------------------------------------->
# partition table of /dev/sda
unit: sectors

/dev/sda1 : start=       63, size= 48821472, Id= 7, bootable
/dev/sda2 : start=239191785, size= 73384920, Id= 7
/dev/sda3 : start= 48821535, size= 37784880, Id=83
/dev/sda4 : start= 86606415, size=152585370, Id= 5

/dev/sda7 : start= 86606541, size= 69625584, Id= 7

Just for test I immediately tried to use this data for input, but it failed ...
