There is no cylinder information contained in the display.

That's not necessarily so at all.  Consider this:

    3 0000042f    H:    2    07      0          0     2046
    3 003ff84f    I:    2    07      0       2047      973
                                             **BIOS: 504MB

This is what FDISK /QUERY says about my third physical drive.  Both H: and
I: are logical drives in the extended partition.
