Dear all,
I'm using sfdisk for analysing partitions on msdos partition tables. Unfortunately it don't support
GPT tables.
Is there another tool, like parted, what can be used?
Thanks in advance
Matthias

/sbin/fdisk from package util-linux-2.33.1-2 supports GPT.

fdisk reports the same partition type as sfdisk. It report "Microsoft basic data" for NTFS as well
as for FAT32 partitions.

(Aside: Matthias, this list prefers bottom posting.
Please post at the bottom of responses.)
My go-to is gparted, though it runs on Linux.
You can boot a "live" distro on a USB stick to manipulate partitions.
https://gparted.org/download.php
gparted doc also provides:
How-to Fix Invalid MSDOS Partition Tables
https://gparted.org/h2-fix-msdos-pt.php
Cheers, Glenn

That is as expected and differs from MBR disks. The same GPT partition
GUID is used for NTFS and the various FAT filesystem types.
