   I'm currently looking at changing the partition id from 0b to 0c.   
      
   And I came to the realization that I might be doing the reverse   
   of what Microsoft did (for valid reasons).   
      
   I don't need compatibility with old software, I'm interested in   
   compatibility with old hardware.   
      
   So I am happy to use 0c to get LBA activated, but if I detect   
   that LBA isn't available (in the BIOS), I'm happy to treat a 0c   
   disk as a 0b disk and rely on the CHS values.   
      
   I think.
