Questions[list=1][*]3642 and 4983 blocks, heads, cylinders, cumquats?[*]Same for the big numbers, e.g., 10,779,615 and 10,779,583[*]How can hde3 and hde5 start and end at the same place?[*]It seems like I ought to be able to multiply some of this stuff to arrive at the number of bytes contained in each partition. How do I do this?[/list=1]
