What the hell is wrong with my os?

I have a problem: In my bootloader, i have a "mov ax, 0xB800

mov es, ax

mov byte [es:0], 'C'

mov byte [es:1], 0x07" block, and works with him in the code. But, if I delete him, the Kernel won't start, and idk for what. Can someone help me?

The full code is:
bits 16

org 0x7C00

jmp short code

nop

boot_drive db 0

code:

cli

xor ax, ax

mov ds, ax

mov es, ax

mov ss, ax

mov sp, 0x7C00

sti

mov [boot_drive], dl

mov ax, 0xB800

mov es, ax

mov byte [es:0], 'C'

mov byte [es:1], 0x07

xor ax, ax

mov ds, ax

mov si, dap

mov ah, 0x42

mov dl, [boot_drive]

int 0x13

jc .disk_error

jmp 0x0800:0x0000

.disk_error:

mov ax, 0xB800

mov es, ax

mov byte [es:0], 'K'

mov byte [es:1], 0x07

.idle:

cli

hlt

jmp .idle

dap:

db 0x10

db 0x00

dw 0x0005

dw 0x0000

dw 0x0800

dq 0x0000000000000001

times 510-($-$$) db 0

dw 0xAA55

Edit: I’m just going to leave that there and not touch it. Idk what's does, but, since it work, I never touch it again.

I found this out of nowhere, and I can't find ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING about it, I search and search and nothing, nothing at all. (to clarify, I found it in the creative tab)
