Thanks, is there anything I can do for using that Flashdrive with parted or is it impossible?
I can see at least two possible solutions:
OPTION A)
One work-around is as follows:
1) Copy any data you have on this disk device to another disk device
2) Erase the invalid MSDOS partition table.
The Master Boot Record exists on the first sector of the disk device and also contains the partition table. To erase the MBR (and all data on the disk device), use a command such as:
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/path-to-disk-device bs=512 count=1
Where: /path-to-disk-device is something like /dev/sde
CAUTION: Be sure to type in the above command correctly since it will completely erase the partition table!!!
3) Write a new MSDOS partition table to the disk device using gparted, parted, fdisk, or another partition editor.
4) Proceed to create partitions on the disk device and restore your data.
OPTION B)
Try the patch created by Phillip Susi.
Phillip has created a patch which is posted in the following mailing list post:
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/parted-devel/2011-February/003805.html
Please note that this patch is new and might not have been extensively tested yet.
