All,
Received the following error after performing "sudo parted -l" in a Linux
Mint 10 Live DVD environment:
Assertion ((C * heads + H) * sectors + S == A) at
../../../libparted/labels/dos.c:682 in function probe_partition_for_geom()
failed.
Aborted
The only commands I'd done previously were "man parted" and "sudo fdisk
-l". The output of "sudo fdisk -l" follows:

I checked and the latest version is 2.3. I tried literally entering "parted
DEVICE unit co print unit s print" and got an error. Realizing then that
DEVICE was supposed to /dev/{fdisk} I ran it again against /dev/sda and got
a similar errror:
mint@mint ~ $ sudo parted /dev/sda unit co print unit s print

It appears the problem may be with Solid State Drives as I don't get that
