don't double post! your first post has already been answered.

and to the extend: never EVER use bios calls if you can do it much smarter. this site shows many reasons why NOT to use bios calls at all. get the atapi specs and look for the only way (tm) to retrieve disk parameters!
If you email me include [WIMSBIOS] in the subject.
