Q: Write C program to perform a block read operation using interrupt 13H/42H. Follow the instructions given below: [Note that we are using DAP data structure which is used by extended int 13H service].

Instructions CS609 Assignment 3 Solution 2020:

1)         Include all header files and declare string arrays to input low and high word.

2)         Declare DAP structure and file pointer.

3)      Get low double word from the user, temporarily store it in character array st, and assign this value to lbalod.

4)      Get high double word from the user, temporarily store it in character array st, and assign this value to lbahid.

5)         Finally, generate the interrupt 0x13

6)         Open file through fopen()

7)         Write the read block of hard disk to file.

struct DAP{

1. unsigned char size;
2. unsigned char reserved1;
3. unsigned char blocks;
4. unsigned char reserved2;
5. unsigned char far *buffer;
6. unsigned long int lbalod;
7. unsigned long int lbalid;

} dap;

1. char st[80];
2. unisigned char buf[512];
3. FILE *fptr;
4. void main(void){
5. puts (“Enter the lba low double word:-”);
6. gets(st);
7. dap.lbalod=atol(st);
8. dap.size=10;
9. dap. reserved1=0;
10. dap.blocks=1;
11. dap. Reserved2=0;
12. dap.buffer=(unsigned char far *)MK_FP(_DS,buf);

14. _DL=0x80;
15. _SI=(unsigned int)&dap;
16. Geninterrupt(0x13);
17. puts (“Enter the path”);
18. gets(st);
19. fptr=fopen(st,”wb”);
20. fwrite(buf,512,1,fptr);
21. fclase(fptr);
