What steps will reproduce the problem?

Basically, it seems some loaders (syslinux) can boot from a PBR even if the
hidden-sectors at 001C in the PBR=0.
However, grub4dos will refuse to boot from the PBR ->
Error 43: The BPB hidden_sectors should not be zero for a hard-disk partition
boot sector
using --raw or --force does not help - you still get Error 43.
Also tried geometry --sync and errorcheck off.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Error 43: The BPB hidden_sectors should not be zero for a hard-disk partition
boot sector
Suggest that if
errorcheck off
then it allows you to boot anyway?
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Please provide any additional information below.
Can you explain why the solution works?
i.e.
why chainloader (hd0,1)+0x50 works but chainloader (hd0,1)+1 does not even when
the PBR hidden-sectors value is fixed?
