Now, at first, I was worried about this as I strongly suspected that /dev/sdb7 was causing the Parted Magic error. But without Parted Magic, how can I get rid of the partition?
Luckily there's fdisk and the procedure is very simple. It's all explained here.
In my case the steps were:
# fdisk /dev/sdb ##enter into required disk
# p ##list partitions
# d ##prepare too delete a partition
# 7 ##specify partition 7 for deletion
# w ##save the new partition table
After doing this Parted Magic worked perfectly again.
Incidentally, the version of Parted Magic that works well on my EeePC 901 is 3.0 I also tried the latest version 3.2 but that didn't work at all -- never opened.
