No, there is no `the CHS'. You are fairly free to invent what you would like.
CHS is not a property of the disk, but of your imagination.

A step by step solution?

Step 1: "I have the same problem" - be explicit. What is your problem?
What are the kernel boot messages ("dmesg | grep hd")?
What is your kernel version? What does "hdparm -I" say?

(and don't think I have a memory - quote things you reply to)
