SO we try now to delete the Lacie gpt table, select 3 and type w -> y to save it

Note : I do not know if the mbr will be again deleted. In this case you have to create it again :shocked

Final checks complete. About to write GPT data. THIS WILL OVERWRITE EXISTING
PARTITIONS!!

Do you want to proceed? (Y/N): y
OK; writing new GUID partition table (GPT) to /dev/sda.
Warning: The kernel is still using the old partition table.
The new table will be used at the next reboot.
The operation has completed successfully.

Nice you have no longer the orphan lacie gpt table :thumbup

Last step change partition id on sda8, so run

Code: Select all

fdisk /dev/sda
t + enter
8 +enter
fd + enter
w + enter
fdisk -l /dev/sda
