that's doable but actually I would like to know why the lba stuff is 
detected wrong.

I have changed the code already, so it fits the documentation again :)

interesting. That's a bug that seems to be triggered when reusing all 4 
primary partitions. I found the place where the bug is in the code but I'm 
not sure about the sideeffects if I change that (it's pre-Uwe-Gansert 
Code).
I need to take a closer look to the fix and do some tests.
