dumb question about fdisk

[Kim Holburn]

Hi,

I have a disk which is running, mounted etc. and I want to change the bootable flag to another partition.  I change the flag then I have to "write table to disk and exit".  Will this destroy data on my disk?  I am suddenly reluctant to write the whole partition table just to toggle a bootable flag.  I can't find anything about this in the doco.

Kim
