Dear List,

I have problem with setting label-id of dos partition table
The problem occurs when i use sfdisk:
1. I "save" the partition table with sfdisk -d /dev/sda > saved.table 
(saved file has label-id of partition table)
2. then i restore this via sfdisk /dev/sda < saved.table
BUT
label-id of dos partition table can be changed in this operation e.g.:
when i run command such:
sfdisk -d /dev/sda > saved.table
sfdisk /dev/sda < saved.table
sfdisk -d /dev/sda
sfdisk /dev/sda < saved.table
sfdisk -d /dev/sda
sfdisk /dev/sda < saved.table
sfdisk -d /dev/sda

each time when i restore partition table label-id of dos type partition 
table is changed!

For me it is essential that label-id is set exactly as previous because 
after that i restore windows operationg system on this partitions and 
windows take care about label-id of boot disk partition table

Currently i use fdisk (expert option i) for setting label-id of 
partition, but why it is not possible thru sfdisk?

Best Regards
