Hi,

This is a big problem to me. In Real Mode, I can rely on BIOS to deal with disks and cd-roms (sometimes LBA BIOS extenstion is used). But once I enter the Protected Mode, I cannot use BIOS interrupt any more. So, should I write my own device driver? Is there any best practice?


Many thanks!

Obviously, you should check the wiki. There's plenty of articles and links to forum threads and specifications. Check it out: http://wiki.osdev.org/Category:ATA

And yes, you'll need to write a device driver.
