>How-To-Repeat:

Which partition do you want to change?: [none] 0
The data for partition 0 is:
Primary DOS with 32 bit FAT - LBA (sysid 12)
    start 63, size 976751937 (476930 MB, Cyls 0-60799)
sysid: [0..255 default: 12] 
start: [0..60801cyl default: 63, 0cyl, 0MB] 
size: [0..60801cyl default: 976751937, 60800cyl, 476930MB] 20480MB
20480MB is not a valid sector number.

The choices in the text suggested to me that I could input the size of the partition in megabytes, but fdisk doesn't accept that.

>Fix:
Allow user input in the formats that are specified in the brackets.
