I have a disk with geometry: 2586/240/63 [39100320 Sectors]. The number of platters on the disk is 4 but the number of heads 240 and I know that this is because how BIOS calculates it. Dont know why though.
If I create a partition with start CHS 0/0/1 and end CHS 0/60/1, will that roughly create a partition that spans a physical platter or does BIOS completely recalculate head values and I there are no guarantees where data will actually end up. Thanks.
