INT 13 - FIXED DISK - FORMAT TRACK AH = 05h AL = interleave value (XT-type controllers only) ES:BX -> 512-byte format buffer the first 2*(sectors/track) bytes contain F,N for each sector F = 00h for good sector, 80h for bad sector N = sector number CH = cylinder number (bits 8,9 in high bits of CL) CL = high bits of cylinder number (bits 7,6) DH = head DL = drive Return: AH = status code (see AH=01h) Notes: AWARD AT BIOS and AMI 386sx BIOS have been extended to handle more than 1024 cylinders by placing bits 10 and 11 of the cylinder number into bits 6 and 7 of DH for XT-type controllers on an AT or higher, AH=0Fh should be called first the IBM AT BIOS and many other BIOSes use only the low four bits of DH (head number) since the WD-1003 controller which is the standard AT controller (and the controller that IDE emulates) only supports 16 heads SeeAlso: AH=05h"FLOPPY",AH=06h"FIXED",AH=07h"FIXED",AH=0Fh,AH=18h,AH=1Ah .
