Question about which tools to use, bugs, the best way to implement a function, etc should go here. Don't forget to see if your question is answered in the wiki first! When in doubt post here.
I've my OS and I want to put it on a HD partition. How can I do it?
Is there any aplication?
I used fdisk to make a little partition for my OS. Then I tried to make a code that reads the HD's first sector an shows you the partition table. Then asks you in wich one you want to install it and calculate the first sector in HD of the partition. Finally reads the OS from floppy and write it on the sector it calculated before. It only worked in a PC with one partition, and installed it! but in a PC with four partitions it doesn't works... it destroyed my W98 , but not my LINUX! uff!
The partition table has space for 4 partitions, *but* an extended partition can also store 4 partitions so whenever you create an extended partition you create space for another 4 partitions.
, but not my LINUX! uff!
