LBA or other geometry-related aspects.

1) Could you post the results of 'fdisk -l -c=dos -u=cylinders
/dev/sda' and 'fdisk -l -u=sectors /dev/sda'

2) You cut the critical three-four letter sequence indicating boot type.

3) About 3-4 years ago, I decided I'd use my 1G sticks for light
writing and primarily for booting old systems since I anticipated
their disappearance and saw the growing incompatibility of large stick
and old PCs.
