problem there, i think. to read something from the drive, it needs to
know the #sectors, #heads, cluster-size, etc. if it's on the disk,
how's it going to read the disk to find out those values so it can
read the disk ?

i'd assume when you save bios settings, it's done in the same fashion
as flash updates.
