Just take a look into the fat partition if there is the same count for the heads in byte 27/28. You can do that in the following way: dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/tmp/heads.bb bs=1 skip=26 count=2 hexdump -C /tmp/heads.bb If the ntldr is realy in the fat partition then it might be that the boot code from the fatpartition get an other head-count for that.... So maybe you can provide more information about the system? * Chipset (lspci -vvv might be helpful) * Harddisk (Type sata/ide/scsi?) * Biossettings if this is a sata system It is also possible that the edd module returns after the first time 255 heads and after crating the partitions (reboot again into the linux-env) another value.... We had this a long time ago, but I cant remember the systems... greetz mario ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
