I think the problem here isn't the partition table.  It seems neither program 
is able to access the card *at all*, that's where all those IO errors are 
coming from.  Make sure the card is inserted properly in the card reader, and 
if possible try either another card if you have one, or try reading the card 
with another device (camera, mobile phone, whatever)
