Try fdisk from the command prompt. You can specify CHS begin and end addresses,
which fdisk will actually use.

I had fdisk problems with some "automatic" corrections of cylinder boundaries,
which exactly were cylinder boundaries, but fdisk correction suggestions were
NOT. So I used those CHS values to enforce things. Worked then.
