format / fdisk / NTFS Partition Type

807559Jan 25 2007 — edited Jan 29 2007

Hi Folks,

I'm in the process of replacing the hard drive on a Sun Ultra 20 running Solaris 10.

The partition layout of the original disk was as follows

Partn Status   Type      Start  End     Length  %
====  ======   ========  =====  =====   ====== ===
 1             IFS:NTFS  0      1274    1275    4
 2    Active   Solaris2  1275   30400   29126  95

I'd like to keep the same partitioning scheme for the replacement hard disk,
but when I run format & fdisk to create the partitions the options I get for "type" are...

1=Solaris2
2=UNIX
3=PCIXOS
4=Other
5=DOS12
6=DOS16
7=DOSEXT
8=DOSBIG
9=DOS16LBA
A=x86 Boot
B=Diagnostic
C=FAT32
D=FAT32LBA
E=DOSEXTLBA
F=EFI
0=Exit

Any suggestions as to which type I should use to re-create my NTFS partition?

Thanks and regards

Kevin
