Logical geometry information located in the VBR is stored in a format not resembling any kind of BPB.
The only difference, compared to previous FAT16 partitions, is the fact that some CHS-related geometry entries in the BPB record, namely the number of sectors per track and the number of heads, may contain no or misleading values and should not be used.
Specific threshold values for the amount of clusters (as stored in the BPB) have been defined to determine which FAT type is used.
