LILO , like Linux, is probably not using BIOS to figure out your drive 
geometry. Your backup software is probably using LBA or BIOS for the 
geometry. Why not pull the drive or the docs of the drive and use the 
true geometry printed on the top of the drive and see if your backup 
software will cooperate. Otherwise use something that will work such as 
ghost for linux and give up on that piece of horsefeathers.
