With a dir_entries of 0, the root directory and the first data cluster shared the same sector - I don't assume that wouldn't be noticed when using such a partition ... I'd rather say the formula xbpb->rdlen = (WPEEK_INTEL (fbs->dir_entries) * 32L) / xbpb->recsiz; is wrong, as it yields 0 if the partition has less directory entries than necessary to fill one record. This can easily happen if - for example - you have 16k records and only 256 root directory entries (which is the default in HDDRUTIL, IIRC). Thus, the formula should rather read: xbpb->rdlen = (WPEEK_INTEL (fbs->dir_entries) * 32L + xbpb-recsiz - 1) / xbpb->recsiz; The same is found in the Microsoft FAT Whitepaper, btw.
