GPTsync mismatch problem
- by user86762
I have a hybrid disk. After trying to copy some files from another disk to this one, I lost my OSX and Ubuntu boot capability. Ran gptsync and got:
Current GPT partition table:
# Start LBA End LBA Type
1 34 1987 BIOS Boot Partition
2 1988 1029662719 Basic Data
3 1029662720 2108995583 Basic Data
4 2108995584 2109405183 EFI System (FAT)
5 2109405184 2517004287 Mac OS X HFS+
6 2517266432 2667417599 Mac OS X HFS+
7 2667417600 3900229631 Basic Data
8 3900230504 3907029118 Linux Swap
Current MBR partition table:
# A Start LBA End LBA Type
1 1 3907029167 ee EFI Protective
Status: MBR table must be updated.
Proposed new MBR partition table:
# A Start LBA End LBA Type
1 1 33 ee EFI Protective
2 34 1987 da Non-FS data
3 1988 1029662719 83 Linux
4 * 1029662720 2108995583 07 NTFS/HPFS
May I update the MBR as printed above? [y/N]
Clearly the MBR table is damaged or mismatched. But it does not reflect the correct GPT table partitions at all. How do I get the MBR repaired to match the GPT table (up to the 4 part limit of course)?
The question is simply - Do I blindly say Yes to gptsync's suggestion? It looks sort of ok but not exactly so...Advice please on interpreting the above output to get my disk usable would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You!
