Read floppy-disk sector (Win 98)

Good evening!
I can't read the sector's from floppy in Win98 OS. My application is
32-capacity and that's why I can't use interrupts. At the same time
HANDLE hFile1 = CreateFile( "\\\\.\\A:", ..... etc);
DWORD resRd, resWr;
ReadFile(hFile1, imgBuf, diskLength, &resRd, 0);
CloseHandle(hFile1);
don't working in Win98.
What decision can be?
Thanks!

P.S. I saw old themes and can't found this question answer.
