3/24/2002 3:43:27 PM:$t0rm This is an OK tutorial, I had no idea
how bootloaders worked until now. You
should also teach us how to use the
bios.h header file :)

3/25/2002 2:08:43 PM:TiNT18 WOW!! I've never seen this before. If
this works I dub thee

3/25/2002 10:32:21 PM:Travis Goodspeed I find it rather funny that your
"alternate OS" won't compile on Linux
using gcc. If it was in c, and linux
still used the a.out executable format
I might be able to use bcc. Oh well, I
guess this os will fit on a floppy
beside lilo.

3/27/2002 11:40:04 PM:Alex M Very good, he even e-mailed me a copy
of bios.h and the compiled Copyboot.exe
for me because I did not have bios.h!
Good tech support, lol. 5 *'s

believe it helps a lot with my recent
project.

4/18/2002 7:21:25 PM:Mud Blud i wanna make an os...i dont know any
ASM tho...tutorials get boring after
the 31st page when u still aint learnt
anything
|
4/21/2002 3:40:22 PM:Miah I saw your code and am very interested
in it, however, I am using an older
version of Microsoft Developer studio
and do not have bios.h, a friend gave
me a borland bios.h and it compiles,
but will not link, could you please
send me the necessary linking file for
the copyboot project? thank you

4/29/2002 11:08:03 AM:Aspiring Coder Nice work, thanks for sharing. :)
|
7/2/2002 8:02:56 AM:Dhiman Halder change the boot sector of a FLOPPY
rather than HardDisk. It is much safer!
Doesn't match a OS in anyway, anyway
good code
|
7/9/2002 4:34:32 AM:Mr_T Very nice code - it is the first which
runs on my PC! But I don't undestand
the jumps .... and what is the meaning
of "PUBLIC USE16
assume CS:_Text,
DS:_Text",
"db 0EAh ; jmp far
SEG:OFS ;
dw OFFSET AfterData,
7C0h" and
"push CS
pop DS " ?
I
don't understand the whole first part
of the code ... why must we go to "
7C0:0" ? (sorry my english isn't very
good :-) )
|
7/17/2002 3:56:05 PM:Abdel Jabbar Baig Mr_T, it's all assembly code. When you
see something like SEG:OFFSET, it's
basically pointing to some address
directly in the memory. There are some
tutorials on assembly online that you
can check if you're intrested in it.
Also, you can't make an OS without
using assembly language because the
whole bootloader and I/O access is done
through assembly.
