I need all the help I can get in making a bootable floppy disk in assembly language: samples, docs, anything.
Thanks!

this is my e-mail: torjelucian@yahoo.com
 
hello,

first you need to write an assembly program that is 512 byte in length or smaller.

then use an exe2bin program (see FAQ)

then write another program to write this to sector zero on the floppy.

on PC boot this sector is loaded into 7C00h and executed. think first byte has to be EBh (jump code) but not sure, cant remember.

good luck!
