Like so: parted -s /dev/sda unit TiB print (should produce said error) parted -s /dev/sda mklabel msdos parted -s /dev/sda unit TiB print (should work) I'm just a bit worried for two reasons: (i) I haven't seen this error before, blank disks should cause a somewhat different error, and (ii) depending on your Xen configuration you may or may not have /dev/sda really available and only see /dev/sda1 instead. (I'm using the latter configuration style myself.) Thanks, Michael
