My memory fails on the details but you need to research the various FAT16
'disk' formats. You're probably reading a partition block which will have
to be parsed in order to locate the actual boot sector. Sorry I can't take
the time to help more. I had to deal with this once when reading SD cards
via USB.

Subject: [lpc2000] SD card boot sector location
Hi all,
I have an SD card formatted by means of a PC card reader. When I try to
access the card via SPI, it seems that the boot sector's number is 249. All
sectors below this location read as zeroes. The card's volume is 1 GB. The
file system is FAT16.
The question is: why 249 ? It must be described somewhere, but I failed to
find anything in "ProdManualSDCardv1.9" and some other documents.
Regards,
Max
