I was able to do that.

Then I went back and looked at my Kingston - it has 5 "heads," 32 s/t
and 99212 "cylinders."

Now the question becomes, if I try that on the Sandisk, will it trash
the drive altogether, or would I still be able to use it, or would
that fail because there really isn't that much space on the "drive?"

Yeah, I know, greedy me, I want squeeze every byte of storage out of
the thing, but why not?

Thanks.

PS: I'm also sending a query to Sandisk about this - I'll report if
they tell me anything useful.
