Why don't you just provide us with the command you used and a
directory listing showing the archive file ("ls -als *" when you're
cd'd into the directory you wrote the archive to)?

You're dicking around with partition tables, which frankly I doubt you
fully understand and all the while people are asking for more
information to help you work out what has happened yet you persist in
ignoring their requests whilst you do your best to shaft another
hard-drive.

By the way, Gparted works perfectly well over USB connected drives -
the underlying BIOS functions mean it doesn't care if the drive you're
inspecting is on an IDE, SCSI, USB or SATA connection.
