If the old machine and install is still available, I recommend to check
/var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages to see if any reason why writing

The only time not possible to re-read partition table is if you have

# fdisk /dev/sdb1
where I would have expected
# fdisk /dev/sdb
That said, I have reproduced something similar on a 1GB USB2 key running Hardy
