If you partition the disk you want skipped with parted and friends (ill advised for reason I previously mentioned), then you need to remove the bootload jump code it writes to LBA 0, by zeroing the first 440 bytes as I and others previously described. If you partition with fdisk there is no code to erase it will just be skipped. However, fdisk will not erase existing code. So this only applies going forward. Same for gdisk. And same for their variants. -- Chris Murphy -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
