As I read in the mails that followed this one, it's a known bug, but I was
just wondering if it had anything to do with the fact that if you set your
default sector size in the harddisc driver too small (IE smaller than that
of a single-partition zipdisc), you won't be able to read the disc unless
you booted up with the disc inserted (in which case the driver will adjust
itself).

Just wondering :)
