Format a floppy image file with FAT12
Format a floppy image file with FAT12
I have started an OS project. I have created a simple real mode bootloader. I am still to learn coding PM and kernel. I want to use a floppy image file to store my bootloader and kernel. I have created a qemu-img file. I want to format the image file with FAT12 for which I want to write a FASM code. I have read documents on floppy disk geometry but I am looking for some example code to learn from it.

ksanjeet, I have published my old mkfloppy sources here for some days. Search for keyword "mkfloppy" on this forum for examples.

If you have seen bad English in my words, tell me what's wrong, please.

Re: Format a floppy image file with FAT12
It depends on the operating system that you are using. I'd recommend you check out the build scripts for MikeOS.
TachyonOS - Violates causality on 95% of attempts. Runs at approximately 1.5c.

Thanks everyone.
MikeOS is proving to be a great help.
So far, I am using OS tools to format the images. I want to write my own code to format images.
I have downloaded ego's code from the link and will try to learn from it. Thanks and I really appreciate everyone's help.
