Hi,

Are you using Windows or Linux (or something else?). If using Windows, look up partcopy. If using Linux, I believe 'dd' is the way to go. On http://www.osdever.net, there are a few bootsector tutorials, many of which have instructions on writing the boot sector.

Cheers,
Adam

If your coding with tasm, you can assemble your OS as a com or mz exe and load it with bootprog http://alexfru.chat.ru/epm.html#bootprog
