Hello there,
iam changing the id of a particular sector to some number x.
In 9X, iam able to recognise whether that sector x is existing or not by
reading from that particular sector through the issue of 13h interrupt
with the help of DeviceIocontrol function.
But under NT, when iam using createfile, readfile etc. iam unable to do
so.
can we use interrupts in NT , in my custom created device driver.
when iam issuing 13h interrupt in my device driver , my system is getting
restarted under 2000.
if not, is it possible to know that a particular sector on a particular
track (i have altered the id of that sector to some id x) is existing or
not. is there any way to achieve that in NT, whether through a device
driver or kernel mode driver etc.
if the question is still not clear then pls let me know.
any help in this regard is mostly appreciated.
bye

No you cant. Never Ever.

you cannot call int13 inside of the NT kernel - the system bios calls
are unavailable.
