This I would like to see happen!
Actually, I had the same problem. I made partitions with linux fdisk. They
were all legal-steven until one day I "discovered" the cylinder boundary
problem. AFAIK, Partionmagic will NOT read these and says simple "BAD". The
GPL programs also complain and will not read them. Only fdisk works!
These These are all Linux partitions and one FAT32. All are read and used just
fine, windows and linux.
(I'd still love to fix it, though.)
