AVERTISSEMENT: Le périphérique /dev/sda a des secteurs logiques de taille
4096. Pour l'instant le support n'en est que partiel, sous Parted et ce de
manière très expérimentale.

is this wrong ?:
taille de secteur est 4096 (et non pas 512)
e.g. sector size is 4096 (and not 512).

I think i have to find a tool and perform a low format.
Expecially for a newbie, it is not possible to work with gparted.
No issue proposed in ubuntu
