The concept of CHS is since long outdated. But.. It depends in what context you use it. If it's an old machine with x86-BIOS you usually enter heads=63 sectors=255 There are three translation modes for x86-BIOS calls (INT 13h) to physical sectors CHS, LBA, and Large. Try to use LBA if that won't work use Large or as last resort CHS mode.
If you build a system that is free from x86 baggage then LBA is the mode to use.

Issue the identify command to the card and parse the sector worth of data that it returns. It's all in there.
