[logical]? primary Here you are trying to create a primary partition on your MS-DOS partition table. However, MS-DOS partition tables can only have up to four primary partitions, so Parted cannot accept this input (it should definitely say why, though. I'm adding this to my agenda). After that you choose the default and get the aforementioned problem againL you cannot have a logical partitions outside of an extended partition, and you can have only one extended partition.
