As for resizing / changing partitions: try qtparted that comes with Knoppix. Wonderful tool, I use it all the time.
HTH.

Ohhh, (grin)., It's quite easy to remove an MBR, i do it occasionally, though, usually by accident.

If the device has a device file associated with it (/dev/file-name) then you can point "dd" at it.

Very useful for backing up an MBR/table or othe disk boot sector, and for restoration.

And if your thinking of using "dd", read up on its' manual first, very well so, it's not a toy. It is a powerfull tool that can wipe out whole partitions with a single key press.
