Mission accomplished !!:Lol
After all i decided to use a structure to hold data ( i was tired of using loops to give a variable different numbers in order to get what i want(ex.going exactly to the Byte "12" of the floppy disk and then try to read it .. as you guys kindly mentioned it before that This is not correct , ( i know , but i couldnt get what oyu were telling me ) after all the codes are complete;t different ... here it is , tell me if any thing is wrong .. if all are alright .. if there is a better way of expressing it i would be very thankful if you tell me
by the way how can i edit my posts? !!! i just wanted to edit some post , but i noticed i cantCode://In the name of GOD /* Using Structure to hold data version 0.1 A Piece of COde that extracts floppy disk geometry information, its been writen in pure C and has been tested and ran seccessfully under TC 3 ...
