Hi Andrew,
I just found out, that parted cannot deal with great partitions created with
Windows ME fdisk:
I created a primary Fat32 partition (Size: 10G, type=c (fat32 lba)) with ME
fdisk. Then I started parted and tried "p", but the answer was "cannot open
device /dev/hde - unrecognised disk label".
I removed the partition and created a new one, but this time only with 1G
(type=b (Fat32 non-lba). Now parted worked perfectly.
After recreating the first situation I took a closer look to the partition
table ME fdisk created: linux fdisk showed me that the (placeholder chs)
last cylinder was 0xfa (dec=250), but I think 1023 would be right? The other
placeholders are like the geometry: H: 254 S: 63.
The geometry of the disk is (according to parted and linux fdisk)
4982/255/63.
I tried the same on another system with /dev/hda as first HDD but it showed
the same.
So, I think the problem is that parted only accepts the placeholder value
"1023" for ECyl, is that possible?
