Hi Japheth,

after loading the usbdisk.sys driver you can use int25/int26 (absolute disk read/write) to access logical disk sectors of the USB disk. You have to define a parameter block here since the partition is >32 MB.

So if you use DOS and not a different OS you can use these interrupts instead of int13.
