Thanks for doing this; I did not find any time for that.

Overall, I like what you did, but here are some comments (if you would 
have inlined the patch, I would have commented with references):

- I like the convert_sector2CHS() function, although I would have named it 
  sector2CHS() for brevity (although the pretty magic -- or unintuitive 
  -- detection if lba is needed would have to be done differently, which 
  I maintain would be better),

- you write the NT-ID byte-per-byte, whereas I would have used strcpy() 
  for clarity,

- I'd have introduced a member nt_id instead of hardcoding an offset into 
  the "ignored" part, and

- fat_type == 12 and lba does not make sense, or does it?

Thanks,
Dscho
