I put the disk back into the original machine on the same IDE channel as it was before and got CHS = 7486,16,63
Everything seems to be working fine at the moment. I know that more modern drives don't use CHS - they use LBA. Is having the wrong CHS a problem or does it matter at all?
An incorrect CHS can cause major problems as it defines the geometry.
Use the right ones or stick with LBA.
