Partitions not detected

Hi,

I fear I need some help with Parted.
When trying to use Parted with with my external hard disk it's two partitions 
are not detected, instead a message about a third partition is printed:


> # parted /dev/sdc unit s print
> No Implementation: Partition 3 isn't aligned to cylinder boundaries.  This is 
> still unsupported.


If I remember correctly the disk was partitioned using cfdisk, using byte 
values (instead of sectors) to specify the partition sizes. fdisk reports the 
following layout:


> # fdisk -l -u /dev/sdc
>
> Disk /dev/sdc: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes
> 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders, total 1953525168 sectors
> Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
> Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
> I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
> Disk identifier: 0x14762e21
>
>    Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
> /dev/sdc1              63   976559219   488279578+  83  Linux
> /dev/sdc2       976559220  1953520064   488480422+  83  Linux


The first partition contains a XFS, the second one a JFS filesystem.

If my calculation is right at least the first partition should be aligned to 
cylinder boundaries, but temporarily deleting the second partition did not help 
either.
Any hint why Parted doesn't see those partitions?

Best regards,
Ignaz
