Remember it ususally counts tracks from zero. So track 40 is the 41st track, and is beyond where data is usually stored on IBM PC 360k (double sided double density 48tpi) disks. Sometimes this track may contain mastering information written by professional disk duplicatiors, but it is usually blank.
