A workaround is to toggle a partition's boot flag with the `a' command, thus setting the `partition foo is changed' flag, toggle it again, which doesn't clear said changed flag, then use the expert `i' command to change the ID before using `w' to write the MBR.
-- fdisk doesn't write MBR if only Windows NT ID is changed. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/225564 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
