Hello,
I tried to modified a partition table by using fdisk, but it
failed. Now I am in trouble. I setup the disk inside an external usb enclosure
and try to access it.
After I turn the enclosure on, I only have a short time to interact with
the disk (maybe 15 s).
During this time I can make a fdisk and I get:
Omitting partitions after #60. They will be deleted if you save this partition
table.

Partition table entries are not in disk order.
Here is the previous partition table:

How, can I fix this partition table (actually only 2 partitions : 6 and 7)
are wrong.
To force the partition table back into that previous state, first
put the following text into a file goodparts.txt :

Then, start up the drive, and as soon as it becomes ready run:
sfdisk --force /dev/sdd <goodparts.txt
Be absolutely certain that the drive is coming up as /dev/sdd,
because sfdisk will happily overwrite the partitioning of whatever
drive you say.
