Hi,
where i can found a simple USB Hard-disk driver PIC based project with asm or hex file included? 8O
 

Did you mean using PIC to talk to USB hard-disk?
It is very hard (or impossible to do) thing, requires USB host controller and very complicate USB protocol stack.
 

If you want to alter the communication between the
USB device (PC for ex) and the disk than use one of
Cypress' USB MCUs, or a simple USB UART from
https://www.ftdichip.com/.
But than you have to implement the file storing,
reading from sector to sector...

If you just want a USB hard disk adapter than buy
one for 20EUR. It's cheap and it works.

good luck,
Zed

It is impossible to make USB disk adapter using PIC! For this you need more sofisticated or USB dedicated MCU.
