<h1><a name="kap_interrupt_0450"></a>INT 13,4 - Verify Disk
Sectors</h1>
<p> AH = 04</p>
<p> AL = number of sectors to verify (1-128 dec.)</p>
<p> CH = track/cylinder number (0-1023 dec., see below)</p>
<p> CL = sector number (1-17 dec.)</p>
<p> DH = head number (0-15 dec.)</p>
<p> DL = drive number (0=A:, 1=2nd floppy, 80h=drive 0, 81h=drive
1)</p>
<p> ES:BX = pointer to buffer</p>
<p> on return:</p>
<p> AH = status (see ~INT 13,STATUS~)</p>
<p> AL = number of sectors verified</p>
<p> CF = 0 if successful</p>
<p> = 1 if error</p>
<p> - BIOS disk reads should be retried at least three times and
the</p>
<p> controller should be reset upon error detection</p>
<p> - causes controller to calculate the CRC of the disk data and</p>
<p> compare it against the CRC stored in the sector header</p>
<p> - BIOS before 11/15/85 required ES:BX point to a valid buffer</p>
<p> that doesn't cross DMA boundaries. More recent BIOS versions</p>
<p> actually ignore the buffer and the DMA boundary requirement</p>
<p> - use this function to check for valid formatted diskette in
a</p>
<p> the specified drive and for drive ready for read</p>
<p> - only the disk number is checked for validity</p>
<p> - the parameters in CX change depending on the number of
cylinders;</p>
<p> the track/cylinder number is a 10 bit value taken from the 2
high</p>
<p> order bits of CL and the 8 bits in CH (low order 8 bits of
track):</p>
