I am not sure what you mean by repair, but parted likely isn't the tool
you want for that.

parted *can* re-partition the device, but you will lose your data when
you re-format it.

As the other response said, you need to use 'primary' on msdos
labeled devices. Setting the filesystem type to ntfs will set the
partition type for an NTFS filesystem, but will not actually format it.
You need to use mkfs.ntfs to do that.

Good Luck,

Brian

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

In KNOPPIX 9.1 I use parted version 3.4

I am trying to repair the USB stick

> SanDisk Cruzer Glide
> SDCZ60-256G-B35

which was destoyed by partclone.

Gparted shows red warnigs, that no filesystem can be found.

With Gparted I have often deleted the partition(s) and created various new 
patitions with partition tables msdos and gpt.

Yet not tried ntfs until yet.

Until yet all was of no help.

Now I am going on to make partitioning to ntfs and exfat.

For this I am now using the tool parted.

In the moment the non-working on the USB stick has the partition table msdos.

For the parted command "mkpart" the documentation "info parted" says:

PART-TYPE is one of "primary", "extended" or "logical", and may be 
specified only with "msdos" or "dvh" partition tables.

Now the problem is:

I intend to mkpart "ntfs",
but nevertheless parted insists to type "primary".

Without giving "primary" I cannot progress, and with giving "primary" an 
error message is produced.

This is true for interactive operation as well as for non-interactive.

There is no way to use parted.

You want to receive with each bug report the output of the parted command

parted /dev/sdp unit s print free

(I have tried sdp and sdp1)

The output I cite here:

+++++

Model: SanDisk Cruzer Glide (scsi)

Disk /dev/sdp: 487391232s

Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/513B

Partition Table: msdos

Disk Flags:   (none)

Number  Start       End                Size  Type  FileSystem  Flags

                2s          2047s            2046s  (none)  FreeSpace  (none)
