	I get the error "mountmsdosfs(): root directory is not a multiple of 
the cluster size in length." whenever I try to mount a DOS partition in 2.0.5. 
My hard drive's real specs are 2099/16/63, but gets remapped to 524/64/63 by 
the BIOS. It worked once before, but stopped working after I moved the 
partitions around. Does anyone know what this error is about?

TIA,
	Mike Hobbs
