Boot sector question

I have a floppy disk that boots MS-DOS and executes some commands.

The last command I want it to run is something that loads the hard disk boot sector in and jumps to it, thus relinquishing control from DOS.

My code is:

mov ax, 201h
mov bx, 7c00h
xor cx, cx
mov es, cx
inc cx
mov dx, 80h
int 13h
jmp 0:7c00h
but this just hangs. Any ideas what could be going wrong?

Check cf/ah for the status/return code. How many hard drives do you have? Perhaps the first disk is a GUID Partition Table disk?

Write boot record code in Java

Read SICP.

I dunno, ask Xarn.

Thanks for your suggestions. However I've narrowed the bug down to when the Windows-installed boot sector copies itself from 0x7C00 to 0x600. It appears to overwrite some DOS structures which causes the system to hang. I expect DOS has hooked some of the BIOS interrupts so the boot sector code ends up calling it instead of the BIOS. Not sure yet though.

The first thing that comes to mind is the timer interrupt (0x1C).
