    Hi!

    I have a hard drive with two partitions. I can mount them, and can
    read/write them. But when I type:
    # cfdisk /dev/hde
    FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 2: Partition begins after end-of-disk
    Press any key to exit cfdisk

    I get the above error message. How can fix the partition table?

    Thanks!

    Daniel
