Hi everyone,
I made code for hard drive(bootsector
Code:
        ORG 7C00h

        START1:

        jmp START

        DATASECT:

        DAP:
        DAP_Size             db 10h         ;2h
        DAP_Res1             db 0           ;3h
        DAP_Bytes2Transfer   db 1h          ;4h
        DAP_Res2             db 0           ;5h
        DAP_Buff_Addr1       dw 0000h       ;7h
        DAP_Buff_Addr2       dw 0810h       ;9h
        DAP_LBA              dq 1h          ;12h

        DAT:
        DAT_Disk_Num         db 80h         ;13h
        DAT_Num_Of_Sects     db 1h          ;14h     

        START:
        mov bp, START1

        READ_HD:
        mov ah, 42h
        xor al, al
        mov dl, 80h
        mov si, cs
        mov ds, si
        mov si, DAP
        mov byte cl, [cs:bp+14h]

        RHD_LOOP:
        pusha
        int 13h
        popa
        jc ERROR
        add word [ds:si+6h], 20h
        inc word [ds:si+8h]
        loop RHD_LOOP

        COMPLETE:
        nop
        jmp COMPLETE

        ERROR:
        nop
        jmp ERROR



        times 449 db 0
        dw 0AA55h

Somewhy and somehow, Virtualbox executes commands with code 00h,
WHY?

In the last part, better use this:
Code:
        rb 512 - 2 + $$ - $
        dw 0AA55h


And as for receiving error code zero, after calling INT 13 you are using POPA which restores the previous AL value (zero). So this is not a compiler problem, I'll move this thread to OS Construction.

[edit]Sorry, I made a mistake, error code is returned in AH so you should see 48H again. It seems that when you mention code 00H you mean something else. But still not a compiler problem as disassembling the code gives exactly what you compiled:

I see you miscalculated the offsets of two variables, DAT_Disk_Num is at bp+12h and DAT_Num_Of_Sects at bp+13h. I think you have some other offsets wrong as well and perhaps you are not incrementing the buffer address correctly. Perhaps you should use plain labels first and then move to use BP-relative stuff (for which I recommend you to learn the "virtual" directive and/or struc)
