   No.  I being the heartless cad I am did not take there feelings in to
   account ;-)

   How?  I am not familiar with bootstrap loaders, etc.

I'd have to scrounge through the wd driver code, etc. to figure it out.
The only point I am making is that you can't expect to randomly change
a partition ID on a disk, which is there for a reason, without finding
out where that partition ID is checked and making corresponding changes.
