It was the data partition on the cloned disk, so noncritical.
Fortunately, when PM also wanted to 'fix' my working source drive, I had
the presence of mind to say no.
I do have this CD in my utilities box, but would probably have used one
of the programs from ultimatebootcd or hiren's first, just because they
tend to be at hand. However, it is useful to know that gpart (is the
'g' from Gnu, or from Gnome?) works well.
