INT 25 - DOS 3.31+ - ABSOLUTE DISK READ (32M-2047M hard-disk partition) CX = FFFFh AL = drive number (0=A, 1=B, etc) DS:BX -> disk read packet (see #02548) Return: CF clear if successful CF set on error AH = status (see #02547) AL = error code (same as passed to INT 24 in DI) AX = 0207h for FAT32 drive -- use INT 21/AX=7305h may destroy all other registers except segment registers; Win9X always sets SI to 0000h due to an apparent coding bug Notes: partition is potentially >32M (and requires this form of the call) if bit 1 of the device attribute word in the device driver is set original flags are left on stack, and must be removed by caller this call bypasses the DOS filesystem for FAT32 drives (which may be up to 2TB in size), use INT 21/AX=7305h SeeAlso: INT 13/AH=02h,INT 25,INT 26/CX=FFFFh,INT 21/AX=7305h
