Floppy RAW reading

[Thunder]

Hello,
In HelpPC is said, that you can read 18 sectors from floppy, then you need...or swith head or track/cylinder?
Is that right?
Because when I read my kernel it's not enought 18 sectors, my kernel is 16 KB.
Thanks

Could you give me info about that switching (head tracks)?

Depends on how you do the reading. Both the BIOS and the hardware provide you with a head or track field. If you're programming the hardware directly, you need to seek to the appropriate track first.
