I have a FAT32 logical partition on an MBR hard drive. The partition ID
is 0xb and the partition is successfully shared between Windows7,
Windows Vista, and various Linux distros.
In 'parted-3.1' if I 'print' the drive (/dev/sdc), the output does not
show the type of the partition. If I try to use GParted to copy the
partition to a backup drive, the copy always fails. Asking about this on
the GParted forum I have received the information that the copy fails
because 'parted' does not recognize the partition type, even though
'gparted' shows it as a FAT32 partition.
How can I determine why 'parted' does not recognize the partition type ?
I have tried 'parted' from the GParted live, which uses a 2.3 patched
version of 'parted' from Debian sid and I have tried 'parted' from
Fedora 20, which uses the latest 3.1 version of 'parted'. The result is
the same: 'parted' does no recognize the partition type of my FAT32
partition.
