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.
