Limbo Emulator doesn't work properly on Nexus 7 (2013) with Android 4.3 #41

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try to prepare a hard drive using fdisk
2. Format disk
3. Try to install Windows 95

Expected: Working Windows 95 installation like it was possible with my former 
ASUS Memopad HD 7 (Android 4.2). 

Instead: Setup failing to continue at different stages: 

- right after format using fdisk with message "unable to write boot sector"
- on using hard disks prepared by Qemu or Virtualbox on a PC: neither a 
formatted raw hard disk worked on trying to install win95 nor a full 
installation (which was working before on the PC)

I used the latest version available from Google Play (May 2013) on Android 4.3.

Additional information: Even Puppy Linux was sometimes crashing. Only Kolibri 
seemed to work properly. (But it needs no hard disk to work.)

I'm seeing something similar. Using the recommended DSL and Debian images, i 
get boot errors on most attempts.. either "1.5Read Error" or "Error 16"  or 
"Error 17". Often is able to boot on 2nd, 3rd, or 4th try.
