So I now have some debug info:

So version is returning something, and it is actually getting the disk
size properly. I wonder what else could cause the out of disk message
then.
What does the partition table look like? It doesn't extend beyond
sector 156312575 does it?
Also I wonder about why H=16. It should be 255.
I didn't look at the code, but this is probably the ATA geometry of
the disk, which is returned by the INT-13h (Extended) function 48h
(Read Drive Parameters). If I remember correctly, this geometry is
always 16383/16/63 for disks larger than 8.4GB.
