It's nice to hear from you.

I never encountered this problem again (I will have a new chance this
week-end during a 4.4R to 4.5R upgrade. This time I will make a backup
before :-)).

Anyway, I recovered nearly all of my data on the lost partition,
although something else had been screwed (maybe in the partition boot
sector) apart from the partition entry.

I still think that having Fdisk modify only partition entries which have
changed would be the way to go.

Just my 2c.

Have a nice day !
