The problem is, the : program works as intended on drive C: which is a 20 meg PC-DOS 5.0 partition, : but not on drive D: which is a 300 meg partition (same OS). The call keeps : returning a "sector not found" error even for low sector values. Can anyone I don't know if it helps anything, but try using BIOS sector read functions (INT 13h) I think you'll have to write the calling functions by yourself, I don't remember that Turbo C had those functions by default. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Tero "Miracle" Tervala eaytttet@sjoki.uta.fi miracle@kauhajoki.fi
