hi,
i'm not an expert, not mothertongue.
I have a problem, 2 warning about incorrect number of heads and sectors
I go to the "geometry" and I put the correct numbers, then I go to the "write" and confirm with Y. the program says to reboot the machine.
after that reboot, nothing happens, like I can't write the new numbers.
this is the log:

Re: Can't write
You can ignore the warnings, they are only warnings, not error messages.
Otherwise the partition table looks OK, two partitions are listed.
