Actually, I did not interpret its output like that: # testdisk /list /dev/sdb TestDisk 6.11, Data Recovery Utility, April 2009 Christophe GRENIER <gren...@cgsecurity.org> http://www.cgsecurity.org Please wait... Disk /dev/sdb - 80 GB / 74 GiB - CHS 9729 255 63, sector size=512 Disk /dev/sdb - 80 GB / 74 GiB - CHS 9729 255 63 Partition Start End Size in sectors P ext2 0 0 1 9729 80 63 156301488 that gave me any glue or info. on partition table. It seems it is no more that the fdisk had provided w/ its p command. But that's not a problem any more - as I have calculated from other data - how bit the first partition (of two) was therefore, I have made them as it was so that FS check even did not start for the 2nd partition - for it was clean. But. I have a problem w/ the first onw for FS check would not operate w/ it even w/ SB specified. And I believe it is because of the 1st sector of the 1st partition - for fdisk does not allow me to set it as 1st, but 63rd at least in DOS mode or 2048 in non-DOS mode. And believe, that dd did start filling the iso right w/ the first sector of the first partition. So, do You know how to force fdisk to locate 1st partition at the 1st sector?
