He was able to write off the end of the drive and start back at the beginning because the way the partition table was setup, it was setup for a drive 2x as large as the actual capacity. Basically, there wasn't any way the OS to know that drive was full or almost full, since it reads the partition table to determine drive space.
Not sure WTF Partition Magic let you do that...that's _really_ odd. Maybe you can submit to their Errata?

Hmmm, how can you "write off the end of the drive?" so to speak. I have always gotten a warning that the partition or drive was close to being full or was full and it would not transfer data at that point.
