Loader.bin goes to the boot sector of your floppy (sector 0). Please don't try and install it to the hard drive of your system.

Kernel.bin goes wherever you have programmed loader.bin to load it from.

I will not attempt to test it because 1) I don't know where you expect kernel.bin to go, and 2) your loader.bin does not end in 0xaa55.

...sum1 plz...
I know C better than English

I sincerely hope so.

Regards,
John.

1. Insert a floppy in your computer
2. Copy kernel.bin into your floppy with Explorer.
3. Download rawrite.exe and move this program into the folder, where your have the loader.bin and kernel.bin files in.
4. open up a command prompt and change the directory into the folder where your have the loader.bin and kernel.bin files in.
5. type this in:

Code: Select all

rawrite loader.bin A

5. Wait until it's finish.
6. Test it!
WARNING! Please test it first in a experimental computer, or a Virtual Machine!
