Int 21h is a DOS-interrupt, so, DOS must be loaded before you can use this
interrupt. Are you sure that this is the case in your program?

I have once written a new MBR for my computer. Maybe??? my MBR-code can be
useful for you to see how I have done some things. And maybe, you can add
corrections to my program, so we can both learn from each other :-)
