-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 You are using an ancient version of parted and this has been fixed some time ago; please upgrade. As for what is happening: you had partitioned the drive using GPT and put an EFI system partition on it so it could boot. The camera does not recognize gpt and so replaced the MBR with a DOS partition table, but the GPT structures ( primary and backup ) are still present, which this old version of parted is still recognizing and using. Newer versions of parted note the conflict and prompt you to either wipe out the GPT data and keep the DOS partition table, or wipe out the DOS partition table and repair the GPT.
