Hmmm this looks normal. So we need to look at the next few sectors to see why gparted choked on them.

"Sectors" is not a text file.
How to I handle that, please?
Open terminal, do this in /root:
Code:
gzip -9 sectors
and upload the resulting sectors.gz here.
Btw - I'm not sure whether Fluppy has the command gdisk (I'm not running Fluppy now). If it has, can you do the command also:
Code:
gdisk -l /dev/sda
