Change the partition type??”Type T to choose the type of file system. Enter the partition
number of the partition you want to change. Type the number representing the file
system type you want to use in hexadecimal code. (Type L at this point to see a list of
file system types and codes.) For a Linux file system, use the number 83; for a Linux
swap partition, use 82; and for a windows FAT32 file system, use the letter b.
Display the partition table??”Throughout this process, feel free to type p to display
(print on the screen) the partition table as it now stands.
Quit or save??”Before you write your changes, display the partition table again and make
sure that it is what you want it to be. If you don??™t like a change you make to your partitions,
type Q to exit without saving. Nothing changes on your partition table.
If your changes are correct, write them to the partition table by typing W. You are warned
about how dangerous it is to change partitions, and you must confirm the change.
An alternative to the menu-driven fdisk command is sfdisk, which is a command line??“oriented
partitioning tool. With sfdisk, you type the full command line to list or change partitions, instead
of being taken through a set of prompts (as with fdisk). See the sfdisk man page for details.
