sources round the net, the partition tables might have been overlapping. Here is the error in its full context (if you didn't catch the title): FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 1: Partition ends in the final partial cylinder The solution is to first blow away all the partitions, write, (reboot is advised if you're asked to reboot to see changes to the table), then create your new partitions over it. Update: Just to add some more detail to this process.. This was done entirely in Linux. Since cfdisk (curses fdisk program) bombs out without allowing you to edit your partitions, you'll need to edit the usb drive's partitions by using ol' fdisk. Its not that bad https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1507973 once you get used to it. Start it as you would with cfdisk (`fdisk /dev/usb_drive`), hit the help menu, get a printout of all the partitions, delete the partitions (using the help menu again), and then write the partition table to the usb drive. Reboot if it asks. You should be able to re-partition normally after this. Like this:Like Loading...

Us FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 0: Partition ends in the final partial cylinder FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 0: https://linuxconfig.org/fatal-error-bad-primary-partition-0-partition-ends-in-the-final-partial-cylinder Partition ends in the final partial cylinder: This error occurs when cfdisk is trying to read a partition tables of your storage device. If it finds some problems it will throw a fatal error and exit. One way around this problem is to kill / remove any existing partitions and start again. Be careful fatal error with the following command and make sure that you are not killing a pratitions on your production hard drive ( you have been warned ! ). When running this command a cfdisk will not try to read partition tables and their geometry. This step wil be completelly ignored and cfdisk will present you fatal error bad with free unpartitioned space. cfdisk -z /dev/XYZ now create a new partitions and write changes.
