Wait!!! How does this conflict with changes in the next branch? Are you talking about your local changes? If you are pls commit so I can address this. Additionally, how does this depend on the sector size? Does the ped_device_read call change in your local next branch? And "memset (&(table.partitions), 0, 4 * sizeof(DosRawPartition))" will be valid for all secto sizes. I mean, the RawPartition definition will not change even though the sector size does.
