Thanks Jim. I only want to recreate /dev/sda1, as /dev/sda2 contains
the images of the different OS's I use for testing.

If I only run the first command, will Parted recreate /dev/sda1 and
leave /dev/sda2 alone, or should I use an alternative to fdisk/cfdisk
that can 1) start at sector 63 instead of sector 2048 and 2) use a
given sector as end instead of a size in MB?

Thank you.
