c0d1 isn't a partition... it's the RAID device.

It is very strange that Parted is claiming the "Disk label type" is
"loop".  It should be msdos, or something.

If you wipe sectors 1-3, it should clobber the ext2 signature, and
the partition table should be detected properly:

        dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/cciss/c0d1 bs=512 seek=1 count=3

Be careful... and do a backup.

        dd if=/dev/cciss/c01d1 of=/mnt/floppy/backup bs=512 count=16

Cheers,
