Hi Marco,
Clearly, the partition table has been written as if it were 255 heads
(not 240). Parted doesn't provide any mechanism to fix partition tables
that were written incorrectly. You can use sfdisk, as follows:
sfdisk -d /dev/hda | sfdisk --no-reread -H240 /dev/hda
Did the partition table have 240 heads previously? How did it change
from 240 to 255?
Cheers,
Andrew
