I was able to solve the problem. But now, when I try to read the MBR. I am only able to read the first 4-5 bytes of MBR. The other bytes are all 0xff.

Could it be due to the speed of the SPI? The SPI speed is 200 KHz. I don't change the speed value at any time. I know that 400 KHz is max speed when initializing the SD Card. After initializing the SD Card, the SPI speed can be set (up to 25 MHz i guess)

I don't know what else I can try to solve this problem. I would appreciate your help :)
