  • How to decide first and last sector ? Commented Jan 31, 2018 at 10:36
  • The first sector of the new partition remains the same (so enter 2048 when prompted). fdisk allows you to specify the size in MB/GB/etc and automatically calculates the last sector based on the specified size. Commented Feb 2, 2018 at 6:46
