** Extended partitions are not displayed, but will be generated as required.
Disk size is 125829120 sectors (60.0 GiB)
MBR disk identifier: 0x00000000
MBR partitions:
Can Be Can Be
Number Boot Start Sector End Sector Status Logical Primary Code

MBR command (? for help): w
Converted 2 partitions. Finalize and exit? (Y/N): y
Warning: The kernel is still using the old partition table.
The new table will be used at the next reboot or after you
run partprobe(8) or kpartx(8)
GPT data structures destroyed! You may now partition the disk using fdisk or
other utilities.
