I ran that command, and it finally allowed me to create partition table, and partition the drive. Everything was great, but then I tried to burn Win 8.1 iso to flash using Winusb and again got this error:
Code:

I guess I need to try different approach for burning iso.
Also now when I run your command
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=512 count=1
again to clean the drive I still can't create new partition in Gparted, strange that it's not working now even though it worked minutes ago.
Anyways, thanks a lot.
