But DOS 7+ is LBA, right? It works like a charm there... If the partition is at sector 0, ScanForPrimaryPartitions gets 0 as the startSector. This is in most if not all cases, right? Well if the tool moves it to sector 1 and tells FreeDOS that the partition is there, and FreeDOS recognizes the partition to be at sector 1... why do we need to add startSector to partitionStart? I don't think there's a bug in the tool because it works fine on all versions of MS-DOS.....
