- Won't this crash if other operating systems also create partitions
- on the same drive? I think DOS will write the logical drive geometry,
- not the actual one. I have here a disk with a bot more than 1000 real
- cylinders that gets mapped to 200 by an adaptec.
- Can I use Cylinders 1-500 for linux and 100-200 for DOS at the
- same time????? I think not.
