On my newer XP disk images, fdisk seems to report correctly the number of heads
and sectors but fails to get the number of cylinders and complains with a "you
must set cylinders" message.
On my older images, it doesn't seem to be able to guess anything.
Hdparm -g exits with a "Value too large for defined data type" message in both
cases.
Ciao,
