[Bug 454107] Re: [Karmic] Unable to format new unformatted Corsair 16 GB USB drive

2009-12-07 Thread Jempa
Same problem on my brand new USB LaCie LittleDisc 500GB. Cannot format
the 500GB to anything, ...helper exited with exit code 1...MS-DOS
parser.

It already has a 10MB FAT32 partition with some LaCie stuff on, when
trying to delete it I get this full error message:

Error erasing: helper exited with exit code 1: In part_del_partition: 
device_file=/dev/sdc, offset=374063616
Entering MS-DOS parser (offset=0, size=500107862016)
read failed (Input/output error)
Exiting MS-DOS parser
Entering Apple parser
read failed (Input/output error)
Leaving Apple parser
No known partition table found
got it

got disk
got partition - part-type=4
refusing to delete a protected partition

And this is when running sudo palimpsest.

Any workaround?

br,
Jens

sudo fdisk -l, relevent parts says:

Disk /dev/sdc: 500,1 GB, 500107862016 byte

I assume I don't need to translate this! Or?
