course this key is mounted and not empty (the

Le nombre de cylindres pour ce disque est initialisé à 15294.
Il n'y a rien d''incorrect avec cela, mais c'est plus grand que 1024,
et cela pourrait causer des problèmes en fonction pour certaines configurations:
1) logiciels qui sont exécutés à l'amorçage (i.e., vieilles versions de LILO)
2) logiciels d'amorçage et de partitionnement pour d'autres SE
   (i.e., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
