Hi,
I saw
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2004-May/msg00908.html
and did these steps:
*sfdisk -d /dev/hda > MyPartitionTable.txt
*editing MyPartitionTable.txt to remove the warnings,
*saving the edited 
*text, and
*cat MyPartitionTable.txt | sfdisk --no-reread -*H255
/dev/hda
and I saw:
*Warning: HDIO_GETGEO says that there are 16 heads

*Disk /dev/hda: 79656 cylinders, 255 heads, 63
*sectors/track
*Old situation:
*Warning: The partition table looks like it was made
*  for C/H/S=*/16/63 (instead of 79656/255/63).
*For this listing I'll assume that geometry.
*Units = cylinders of 516096 bytes, blocks of 1024
*bytes, counting from 0

My questions:
It has some warnings.
Is it true?
And then what will I do?
Please help me
Best regards
