It is very much OS specific. What exactly are you after?
Jump to PostLet me rephrase. Is there an OS involved, or you need to go through BIOS, or directly drive the disc controller?

I still don't understand your setup. Is there an OS involved; if so, which one?
And what exactly is a problem?

> dos based
Check out int86() function. Any compiler targeting dos shoud provide it. Int 13 is all you need.
