When I run PartitionMagic it reported 3 errors - different LBA and CHS

are different. In all 3 cases the CHS value is the same - 15483887
(drive geometry is 5168/240/63). After PartitionMagic repairs the
errors everything is OK. Both OS boot well.
My questions are -
a) does somebody know why the errors appear?
b) is the installation safe after the errors are fixed?
I can't tell you why PM reports these errors except to say that it has
done it to me on every disk I have ever used it on (all of 3 :-)).
However, I always choose to ignore PM and *not* let it "fix" anything.
Everything works perfectly for me without being "fixed" so I'd rather
not take the risk.

Yes, I forgot to mention that it happens every time - all 3 (I did the
installation about a dozen times). OK it's good to know that I am not
the only one with the problem. I'll take the opposite approach and let
them fixed (I am still just playing) so that we can make also "the
other" experience. Thanks nevertheless.
