The name could be clearer. Why factor it like this, anyway? Shouldn't "read" always read exactly the number of bytes it is asked to? So, "read-sector" should always read exactly one sector, never more, never less. If an exception happens you can (should!) throw an exception. Which you can then catch at a pretty high level. Segher
