Good question. The old IOCTL_DISK_GET_DRIVE_GEOMETRY
was also supported for W2K. Will QEMU support W2K as a host
longer than MS does? It would make things easier if we
dropped support for W2K hosts.

If we need host support for W2K, I'll check another method
to get the disk size (reading size of partition 0) and send
a new patch. Please send your feedback in this case.

I hope we don't need W95 or W98 host support!?
