Accessing FAT12 file system

Post by Matt C »

Hello.

I wrote my own bootsector and kernel.  It goes into protected mode, then jumps to the previously loaded kernel.  I would like to begin developing my OS in 32-bit C.  Anyways, I need to find a article or any commented code on reading and loading files from the FAT12 filesystem.

Any help would be appreciated.

That is all.

You can reach me through this or through:

Also check out John Fine's bootsectors(http://www.execpc.com/~geezer/johnfine/index.htm under sample source code). They're well commented :) and are for FAT12 and FAT16.
