Hi Ylia,
Your partition table is broken... did you use Norton Ghost?
Anyway, you inspired a better heuristic for Parted detecting such
broken partition tables (i.e. fewer false negatives and still no
false positives).
I now check if any geometry is feasible based on the end cylinder of the
partition and the maximum geometry of x/255/63. If it isn't, there is
no point in trying to deduce one...
Thanks!
Andrew
