Has anyone tried formatting disksusing BIOS interrupt 13h function 05.

I have been trying to use it, but so far, I have had no success.  
The drive spins and acts as though it is formatting but when I try to 
read or write a sector I get an error 4 returned in AH (which means Bad
Sector: Requested sector not on diskette)

If anyone could send me some code in C or assembler that works I would
really appreciate it.

Thanks
David
