    Exclamation Help! (Didn't know were to put this...)

    I have a little bootloader thing, and all it does is initialize protected mode, then run "kernel32.bin". It workx great if I just run the loader from command prompt, but I want to know how to write to the bootsector of a floopy (make a bootdisk with my bootloader), without killing the filesystem on the floppy (kernel32.bin = a file?!).

    Can someone help? I've tried disk image writing thingz, but they write the the whole disk, not just bootsector?

    Right, why don't you just put this in the OS-dev board @ flashdaddee? I would answer it here, but it's way off-topic

    If you have debug you can try :

    C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\debug.exe mybooter.whatyou want

    and then when debug has loaded it, type

    -w 100 0 0 1

    it will be written to the bootsector of the floopy
