Best bet: the partition still has a flag value matching ntfs. You can correct the situation using cfdisk. Be sure to read the manual before using this command.

I make it a habit to clean the first few Mebibytes (and, recently, also the last few Mebibytes) of a partition before (re-)using it (and also using in the first place).<br /><br />Additionally… 0xFD Linux RAID autodetect works only with 0.90 metadata, which recently made my system unbootable (because it was on the last partition, which made md think the RAID is on /dev/sda instead of /dev/sda2); you should be using 0xDA arbitrary data and 1.x metadata… ☹Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
