Hi coder,

 In my doc ( HlpPc 2.1 ), it's said that int 13h fct 8 return in AH the 
tatus
 of last disk operation, I will show U what it say:
   00  no error
   01  bad command passed to driver
   02  address mark not found or bad sector
   03  diskette write protect error
   04  sector not found
   05  fixed disk reset failed
   06  diskette changed or removed
   07  bad fixed disk parameter table
   08  DMA overrun
   09  DMA access across 64k boundary
   0A  bad fixed disk sector flag
   0B  bad fixed disk cylinder
   0C  unsupported track/invalid media
   0D  invalid number of sectors on fixed disk format
   0E  fixed disk controlled data address mark detected
   0F  fixed disk DMA arbitration level out of range
   10  ECC/CRC error on disk read
   11  recoverable fixed disk data error, data fixed by ECC
   20  controller error (NEC for floppies)
   40  seek failure
   80  time out, drive not ready
   AA  fixed disk drive not ready
   BB  fixed disk undefined error
   CC  fixed disk write fault on selected drive
   E0  fixed disk status error/Error reg = 0
   FF  sense operation failed
 I hope it'll be useful 2 U.
                                FeP
... Coding is so funny...
