After removal of the first primary partition, you might notice, that the names of the remaining partitions didn't

|
|
|
change. `/dev/sda2` stays `/dev/sda2`. To renumber the partition, use `fdisk` and create a new primary partition no. 1
|

|
|
|
which is located behind `sda2`. You might want to delete your swap partition, create a new one in partition slot no. 1.

Now enter the expert menu of fdisk and type <kbd>f</kbd> to fix the partition table. The partitions will be renumbered
|
|
|
|
|
according to their position on disk. After that delete the temporary partition and re-create your swap. Don't forget to
|
|
|
|
|
write the new partition table to disk.

Afterwards, update your `/boot/grub/menu.lst`, maybe `/etc/fstab` and do a `grub-install`.
