Is there still any support on Android? I use it daily on my old device, but cannot find it on the play store for my new pad. CoolReader3 / cr3-3.2.6 in the Files archive dates from 2018-08-09, is there nothing newer available, or in the pipeline?

Sorry for the delay, I do not have regular access to the relevant machine. I suspect it was a corrupted GPT, but if so, the corruption occurred when Windows initialised the disk. Remember, the BIOS reports the drive as modulo 2tb, almost certainly wrap around on a 32 bit field. Windows takes the BIOS reported disk size and sets the partition table accordingly. Hence 1.8tb. The BIOS is still reporting 1.8tb, and so is G2W. extract from disk report follows... Disk 2 Style GPT Size 1.8 TB Used 1.8 TB...

OK, Grub3Win installed. On first boot it reported the 4Tb disk as 1.8Tb, and since I do not trust diskpart to fix it I booted a Linux USB, gparted reported a gpt error and offered to fix it, after which the partition showed up as 4Tb. Reboot to windows via g2w, now windows sees the disk as 3.63Tb, which is correct for the way windows reports disk sizes. Somewhat justifies my own machine running Linux, but that choice is not for everyone... JulTan

I have not been able to find a clear answer to this question, so... I have an old BIOS/MBR machine that runs Windows 7 very well, BUT, being BIOS/MBR it does not return the correct disk size for a drive larger than 2Tb. For those unfamiliar, BIOS reports a 4Tb disk as 1867Gb whether GPT or MBR, because the sector count wraps around in a 32bit counter, EFI fixes this by providing a 64bit sector count, but old BIOS machines cannot run EFI firmware. SO, does Grub2Win poke the disk and send a corrected...
