That is not the correct way to do OS detection.  You should be using
GetVersionEx() instead, or use the VCL's global Win32Platform variable.  You
should access VWIN32.VXD only under Win9x/ME, and if it fails then it is an
error and you need to abort what you are doing.  For example:

    if( Win32Platform == VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_NT )
        // win NT/2K/XP code
    else
        // win 9x/Me code

Why are you using Int 26h?  Why not Int 21h Function 440Dh Minor Code 41h,
or Int 21h Function 7305h?  In fact, that last one replaces Int 26h.  It
looks like that was the one you were originally trying to use, correct?

BTW, you should also be locking the media/volume before altering it, and
then unlocking it afterwards.  That ensures that nothing else is trying to
access themedia while you are altering it.
