1. The first command needs you to enter the disk identifier. In most cases, this will likely be the first disk, such as `/dev/sda`. You do not need to indicate a partition number in this step, as you will be asked for one in a later step after identifying all of the partitions on this disk in the next command.

4. This tells gdisk to create a new partition.
5. This tells gdisk to re-make partition 4 (the one we just deleted in the example).
6. We just want to leave this as the default. In my example, it would look like this:
`First sector (34-2147483614, default = 19826688) or {+-}size{KMGTP}: 19826688`

!!! warning "Point of No Return"
When you press `w <ENTER>` the changes will be written to disk, meaning there is no turning back unless you have full GuestVM backups with something like Veeam Backup & Replication. Be certain the first and last sector values are correctly configured before proceeding.
