I'm not sure if this report still applies http://osdir.com/ml/file-systems.ntfs.devel/2005-08/msg00224.html "BTW2, I'm afraid [lib]parted can still corrupt partition tables if the number of heads are 240 (mainly laptops). They could perhaps test and definitely keep in mind this (the problem manifests only in some rare case)."
