Hi,
Following my messages, and after checking the DDB of a 250GB drive formatted under Max OS X.2, I redid my homework:
0xFFFFFFFF * 0x200 = 0x1FFFFFFFE00, that is 2,199,023,255,040, that is 2,199GB.
I don't think such biests are for tomorrow morning.
In fact, I asked this question because I saw in one of my DVD images a FF in the MSB byte of the block number long and was afraid of overflowing rather soon.
It was in fact the overflow of the max capacity of a signed long in my code. Remains to find where...
Thanks anyway.
