Hi,
I'm getting the following error when running parted
Error: The FATs aren't big enough to describe all clusters! Each FAT is 19072
sectors. There are 2441533 clusters, which would require each FAT to be 19075
sectors. This is REALLY weird. You might want to write us an email:
address@hidden
I can't mount this drive, and all of the assorted formatting / partitioning
software I've tried have told me the similar things. Dosfsck says that
"File system has 2441533 clusters but only space for 2441214 FAT entries,"
and quits, and the command "mount -t vfat /dev/hdb1 /windows" gives the
generic "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb1, or
too many mounted file systems" response.
fdisk -l lists the file system
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdb1 1 9729 78148161 c Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
, as does sfdisk, and cf disk.

Disk /dev/hdb: 9729 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track
Old situation:

... Any ideas?
