It doesn't give a very good impression when you ask a question that is fairly comprehensively answered on the Wiki. Honestly, if you can't find the answer to your question with a little research then you'll be happier with a less demanding hobby.

Looking at your question it seems you're using Protected Mode or Long Mode,
There are a lot of operating systems that do this checkout the projects section.
Also you didn't search the wiki
http://wiki.osdev.org/ATA_read/write_sectors
Also there is an existing question

As a lazy, old, stupid way you can switch back to pure real mode (I think v8086 has some complications regarding this, Win 95 suffered crashes and halts during Disk access) and use int 0x13 normally and then switch back to protected mode.

How to switch back to protected mode at windows operating systems after use INT 13h?

You don't. If you're running under windows, you let it do the disk access. If you're running in your own 32-bit OS, you use native drivers (ATA and FDD drivers are quite simple). If you're running in a boot loader, then you may switch between real and protected modes and use the BIOS. Instructions on how to do so are in the Intel Manuals.
