Ok, so what about this:

"PUN cookie (from AHDI >=3.0) not found on this system, system may have
 problems with the maximum sector size calculation."

I met this problem when using HDDriver 7.? that gave me wrong size for 2GB
FAT partition and I got error messages after boot. But user can't say that
this is the reason for such messages (unless he goes into the sources).
