Int 13h, 07h            Format Disk Starting at Cylinder           fixed disk

    Initializes each sector on a specified cylinder and all subsequent
    cylinders with sector address and size information. Only XTs may
    use this service.

        Entry   AH = 07h
                AL = Interleave value
                CH = Cylinder number (10-bit value; upper 2 bits in CL)
                DL = Drive number (Bit 7 must be set)

        Return  AH = Status of operation (See Service 01h)
                CF   Set if error, else cleared

    ------------------------------------------------------------------

    Note
    This service will destroy all previous contents of the disk.

    The cylinder number is a ten-bit quantity (0 through 1023). Its
    most significant two bits are in bits 7 and 6 of CL; the remaining
    eight bits are in CH.

    If an error is encountered, use Service 0h to reset the drive and
    retry the operation.
