Re: [gparted] cfdisk FATAL ERROR after gparted use

so at last, it works now. 

the extended partition of hda5 had its first sector set to 1. 
So this means that the epbr of the next extended partition (hda6) was in the
Boot record of hda4 ! 

when i was trying to change that manually. i was changing to the correct
value but in the wrong place. 

by the way, i fixed it up with booting from  a live-cd and using a usb-key.
sfdisk -d /dev/hda>hda.out
where hda.out is in on my usb key.
then
sfdisk /dev/hda -O backup.hda<hda.out
to simply rewrite the partiton table saved as hda.out
the backup.hda is a backup (made on my usb key too) in case something goes
wrong. 

i wonder if i will really use any parted or gparted in the future now ... 
i can't be sure than gparted caused that because i used fdisk to recreate
hda5... but
