I think I fixed it.  Since I am not your regular Windows user (I only use 
Windows when I have to), I cannot tell if it works, though.

It is here: http://repo.or.cz/w/qemu/dscho.git?a=shortlog;h=diskgeometry

Any testing (especially the physical drive on Windows < XP) would be very 
much appreciated.

There is also a compilation bugfix with the current CVS on Windows: the 
tap down script patch left a for() loop without a body.

A question: on some other lists, the preferred way to submit patches is to 
inline them into the mail, but here I saw many attachments and/or weblinks 
to patches.  The easiest way for me would be like I just did: provide 
a link to repo.or.cz.

What is the preferred way on this list?

Ciao,
