Re: Output of fdisk and parted commands.

[Curtis Gedak]

It appears that the extended partition sdb4 extends beyond the physical 
disk:

488397168 total sectors in disk sdb
488408129 Ending sector for extended partition sdb4

The libparted library used by Parted and GParted does not function when 
the partition table is invalid.  As such you will need to correct this 
error first before either Parted or GParted can work with the partition 
table.

If you wish help with this, please use the GParted forum:

Curtis
