So i am trying to read the MBR partition table from hard drive via ATA PIO, and my mbr structure goes wrong(always zero).
Maybe i am incorrectly reading it? Or something else?
Here the output of readed data and the mbr structure signature

Re: MBR signature invalid
That looks like half of a normal Windows MBR. Where's the other half?

Re: MBR signature invalid
You're reading 256 words, but you're displaying 256 bytes. You lost half of each word somewhere.
