A 14 year old release of Windows that has been end of life and
unsupported for years?  Yikes!  That could explain why it is trying to
access the disk in CHS mode.  On the other hand, you may simply need
to restore the correct Windows boot code to the MBR.  I don't recall
what parted puts there if you try to create a partition table on a
blank disk, but it almost certainly is not the same as the Windows code.

I am confused.  If you are using sfdisk to partition the drive, then
what does this have to do with parted?

Oh boy, those are also ancient ( 8 and 5 years old ).  You should try
an up to date version.
