All I want to know is ... how to convert sectors to cylinders!
These things are not carved in stone, but mere logic convention. Most common is 255 (heads) times 63 (sectors per track) = (16065 SPC) on disks up to 2048G. Also common, but mostly on laptops, is 240 times 63 = (15120 SPC). Neither are compatible with 4k alignment. >2T convention I believe is too new for there to be an established convention except if EFI BIOS GPT is used. -- "How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver."
