I'm not sure.

Here's a possibility: a long time ago there was an option in the BIOS
where you could change a disk's CHS mapping, basically doubling the
number of heads so that the number of cylinders can be halved. Maybe
Windows is doing a similar thing, doubling your target's cylinder so
that the partition table made sense.

Another possiblity (most likely) is that when windows sees a partition
beyond the end of disk it simply ignores it.
