This bug appears to be a duplicate of Debian Bug 653478 - gparted on
squeeze crashes when fresh hard disk is present.
This problem has been fixed with the release of (lib)parted 2.4 and
higher. The relevant git commit that addressed this "Assertion (head
size <= 63)" problem can be found at the following link:
Remove PED_ASSERT from dos geometry checking
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/parted.git/commit/?id=244b1b25a12198efb076e8c65be77b5750776583
This problem was also reported in Ubuntu and tracked under the following
bug report:
GParted crashes with Assertion (head_size <= 63)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gparted/+bug/545911
The work-around to this problem is as follows:
1) Copy your data to another device
2) Write a new partition table to the disk device
3) Restore your data back to the usb device.

Curtis Gedak
