I have seen some pretty weird issues and have work in = process to have a bit more fool proof approach, but I haven't had time = yet to finalize it properly. Namely, what I have found is that in some systems the INT13 ah=3D08 can = result with unexpected results - error from command reported or disk = count not reported etc - something not really expected. It also may have = to do about what other devices are there. And also if the system has = plain BIOS or BIOS emulated on UEFI. rgds, toomas
