Hello,
I always get this error message when I start parted:
[r...@laptop ~]# LANG=C parted --list /dev/sda
Error: Unable to satisfy all constraints on the partition.
Model: ATA WDC WD2500BEVS-6 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdb: 250GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 32.3kB 250GB 250GB primary ntfs
gparted doesn't display any partition.
But I don't get an error message with fdisk:
[r...@laptop ~]# LANG=C fdisk -l /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes

My gparted version is 0.4.3-1.fc10, the version of parted is 1.8.8-8.fc10
I also tried the gparted live cd version 0.3.7.7
Output of fdisk -l -u /dev/sda:

I think the last thing I did before it stopped working was "fix partition
order" from fdisk.
Does anybody know what I should do to get gparted working again?
Thanks,
Lukas
