I'd need more of the backtrace and maybe a copy of the MBR to figure out more. But coupled with 'giving some odd errors' I'd guess you have a hardware problem. Check your system's logs for i/o errors related to the device. If that's the case there's nothing parted can do about it. > See also: > > > > *pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo parted sdb unit co print unit s printError: Could > not stat device sdb - No such file or directory.Retry/Cancel? c* You told it to use sdb, not /dev/sdb in that case :) Brian -- Brian C.
