What program do you use to burn a Tiny Core ISO in a CD-R?

Nice, if You are in normal mode again then let's recreate the partitions.
'n'
primary
number 1
start 2048
end 133119

'n'
primary
number 3
start 133120
end 1200000

After I put the end of the first one it says:

Code: [Select]

Created a new partition 1 of type 'Linux' and of size 64 MiB.
Partition #1 contains a vfat signature.

Do you want to remove the signature? [Y]es/[N]o:


[jazzbiker]

No, we don't touch content, repartition only.

[Mauricio]

No, we don't touch content, repartition only.

Right. Dumb question.

Okay, I did what you said.

[jazzbiker]

We need two more steps:

1. Set partition 1 type to EFI:

't'
partition number 1
hex type 'ef'

2. Make partition 1 bootable:

'a'
partition number 1

After You will do these please post the output of 'p'

I hope no partitions of the HDD we heal are mounted?

Looks quite ready to store, I think.

Please 'w'

If it will not say something bad then it would be interesting to 'sync', wait some time then disconnect the drive and try it in Your old PC.

How do I check if there are patitions mounted, just in case?

[jazzbiker]

In TC You'd use

Code: [Select]

mount | grep '/dev/sdb'


[jazzbiker]

also

Code: [Select]

lsblk
will show mounted partitions

[Mauricio]

also

Code: [Select]

lsblk
will show mounted partitions

Okay, I typed that and there is no MOUNTPOINTS at neither sdb partition. So I continue with fdisk - w?

[jazzbiker]

Yes

[jazzbiker]

Usually distros automount partitions. How do You avoid this?

I don't know to deal with that, never faced issues with automounting. Should I disable it next time I perform a repartitioning like this?

Okay, output of w:

Code: [Select]

The partition table has been altered.
Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.
Syncing disks.

Looks like it already synced? (I'm at commandline prompt now). Should I unplug it now and try it on the other PC?
