The hex hack can work in decimal too. Even more of a hack, but it will extend your range significantly.

if(sector < 1000000000) printf("Sector %d\n", sector); else printf("Sector %d%09d\n", (unsigned int)(sector / 1000000000), (unsigned int)(sector % 1000000000));

Testing is an exercize left to the reader ;-)

...

For disks, you can scale the value by 1e9 and then print in decimal. I'm pretty sure this is what you would be doing

anyway, no?

Not really. Most places that needed it was printing out the sector number of the ide commands in decimal. And whenthe sector number exceeds 32bit, 64bit has to be used.

I could change them to hex,which could print it without any problem, or leave it as 32bit, in which case it can handle 16 times larger disks than now (4 more bits (28->32)) (which is 2.1TB, not 548GB as i said before...)
