I do not know. I suppose, it is just writining a new partition table without 
changing data and formation. So do NOT formate under any circumstances.

As I wrote, I got success without loosing any data by jusdt rewriting a new 
partition table. If this is working in your case, I cannot grant. But maybe 
other people got some better ideas.

Have fun!
