Seems to have done the trick anyway, but I'm a

although the drives were identical vendor / models, the 'new' disk
was reporting five more cylinders than the 'old' one when under Linux
(yet the same number of heads and sectors per track), and I'm not
sure of the reason for that.
Two drives with the same model # and slightly different geometries isn't
at all unusual, at least for modern-ish disks.
