Hi All, I''ve got a question (duh...!), how does one read sectors from a disk, floppy or harddisk, from within windows? what calls should i make? I''m using Visual C++ 6, so, there shouldnt be anything I couldnt do... Thx all! Hugo Ferreira
I think it uses modified code from the normal BIOS functions.. look into INT 13H's subfunctions, but they redirected them into their custom made interrupts.
