I was just shown the solution to my problem, using the "sfdisk" program instead of the "fdisk" or "parted" programs. Apparently "parted" could not work because the drive is not really SCSI, and the "fdisk" program is to "incorrect" and was overwriting a portion of the disk. however, "sfdisk" turns out to be more correct -- although more cumbersome to use.
