OS X fdisk - Remove bootable flag

I have a FAT32 data disk attached to my Mac. It has 1 partition that is marked as bootable and the Mac tries to boot from it even though it has no OS on it. The man page for fdisk tells how to turn on the boot flag for a partition, but not how to remove it. Is there a way? Thanks!

Partition management: lvm? fdisk? parted? (on RAID)

Hello, I have a RHEL system with two 500GB hard drives in RAID 1 (I think hardware, but not 100% certain - any way to tell?). It looks like it was just set up in default configuration with a small boot partition and one huge partition for the rest, which composes a LVM volume. I want...

Can I change the partition type with fdisk without disrupting data?

Hello, I have been going through our environment and I see we have a few servers with LVM's setup and the file system type is still set to "83" within fdisk. If I change this to "8e", will it hurt the data or cause any loss? I need to know for sure before I make the change.

REPARTITION(8)						      System Manager's Manual						    REPARTITION(8)

NAME

       repartition - load a partition table

SYNOPSIS

       repartition device [partition-file]

DESCRIPTION

       Repartition  uploads  a new partition table for the partitions of device.  The table is obtained from the first sector of partition-file if
       given, device otherwise.  Device may refer to the whole drive or a primary partition, depending on whether you want to upload  a  partition
       or a subpartition table.  The partitions will be truncated to fit within the enclosing device like the disk driver does, unless the numbers
       are coming from partition-file.

EXAMPLES

       repartition /dev/hd0
       repartition /dev/hd4 /etc/hd4.table

       Reload the partition table of drive 0 setting /dev/hd[1-4], and the subpartition table of /dev/hd4 setting /dev/hd4[a-d] using a file.  The
       latter may be useful if you need more than the 4 subpartitions a single Minix partition gives you.

DIAGNOSTICS

       The new table is printed on standard output.

FILES

       /dev/hd[0-9]

SEE ALSO

       hd(4), part(8).

BUGS

       The disk must be in use for the changes to stick.  The partition table of an idle disk will be reloaded on the first open.
