Re: Verbatim USB drive crashes libparted

TK,

Would you be able to provide a copy of the Master Boot Record which is 
contained in the first sector of the device?

You can capture the Master Boot Record in a file with the following command:

NOTE: Be extra careful to type this command in properly, otherwise loss 
of data could result.

  dd if=/dev/sdg of=sdg.mbr bs=512 count=1

where /dev/sdg is the USB device, and sdg.mbr is the name of the file 
that will need to be attached.

Previously I made this request in the Launchpad bug,
   https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/710696
but think this information would be much more useful in this mailing 
list.  :-)
