here is the MBR. I also have a proposal. When parted opens a disk, it should both check if the whole disk is formatted as a VFAT (or other) volume, and check if there is a partition table of some kind. In case that both checks are true, it should stop and warn the user that the disk structure is ambiguous, and ask for instructions.
