I can read and write to the drive in Ubuntu and Windows XP without any
problems. Also Sony tv and bluray player handle reading from the drive, but I
haven't tried to write onto the drive with either of them. I haven't tried

One more request. Would you be able to provide a copy of the Master
Boot Record which is contained in the first sector of the device?
You can capture the Master Boot Record in a file with the following

T Kortehisto,
I am curious. If you plug in this drive with it's default formatting,
are you able to read and write to the drive using GNU/Linux? Windows?
Other operating systems?

Verbatim USB stick crashes gParted

Thank you for reporting back with this information.
>From the fdisk output in comment #6 it appears that this disk device is
reporting 86 heads. From the current parted code, this is considered an
invalid disk geometry. Even so, I do not think a program crash is a
good response to this problem.
sudo parted /dev/sdg unit s print
Backtrace has 13 calls on stack:

I found the second USB drive and it crashes gParted similarly to the
first one.
sudo fdisk -l -u /dev/sdg
Disk /dev/sdg: 4007 MB, 4007657472 bytes
86 heads, 22 sectors/track, 4137 cylinders, total 7827456 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 5
If you do come across your second Verbatim drive, please also post the
output from:
fdisk -l -u /path-to-device
That way we can see what fdisk thinks the geometry is on the drive.

I agree, the problem was in the original formating of the drive.
I had to use the -z option with cfdisk to disregard the drive geometry
in order to not get a fatal error closing the program right after it
started. The error I got without -z option was 'FATAL ERROR: Bad primary
partition' and after
Since the drive now works with parted after being reformatted, I suspect
a problem with the original formatting.
If you could find a similar drive for testing that would help.
Otherwise we do not know exactly what the problem is.
The original report has the following line:
Assertion (head_size <
The drive is 4 GB and the filesystem was FAT32, the one which was on the
drive after I took it out of the box.
Here's the output of the command you asked for (sudo parted /dev/sdb unit s
print):

How large is this USB drive (e.g., 4 GiB)?
What file system is being used (e.g, FAT32, NTFS)?
What is the output from the following command:
sudo parted /path-to-device unit s print
Where: /path-to-device is something like /dev/sdc
This is the device location for the USB drive
