It won't wipe away the table. It will just let you edit the existing table interactively, through a series of questions like: - Do you want to edit partition 1? - Do you want to edit partition 2? - Do you want to edit partition 3? - Do you want to edit partition 4? - Do you want to change the active partition? - Do you want to save your changes to the disk?
