Current drive?

Emm thank you all. I have another very strange problem. The entry of the partition table (es:di) is 0x0:0x7CE (should be 0x0:0x1CE) in VMWare, booting from partition 1 (starting at zero). What's going on?

And how did you come up with the "should be 0x0:0x1CE" part? What is going is that you can't read properly.

erase that image

Can we trust your observations then? It is as of yet still a completely valid concern.

The answer is probably no because the remainder of your previous post contains one number I can't assert, and another blatant error, which makes the majority of your stated facts provably wrong.


[Edit]Today's ninja pointed that other error out for you

Code: Select all

0x   7    C    E
   111 1100 1110b

0x   1    C    E
   001 1100 1110b

I only consider low 9 bits.

EDIT: and my real partition index is 1 (starting in zero)

Not sure if trolling or just stupid.

Most likely trolling.

A thread lock since your question has by all means been answered, and I'm going to save other people's time by not letting them bother finding out the actual truth..
