Partcopy, Divide error writing boot sector
Posted: Fri Apr 29, 2011 9:26 pm
Hi, everyone I have this little problem:
I have written a small boot loader form the first Broken Thorn tutorial and I can compile it with NASM into boot.bin, then I use Imdisk to make a virtual floppy drive. When I enter "partcopy boot.bin 0 200 -f0" to command prompt, I get "Divide error". Changing drivers "-f1" makes no difference, I have no clue how to fix it.
Running windows XP, but tired this on two computers same result, tried different simple boot loaders, made no difference so I'm stuck.
Been looking on Internet for two days any help would be great
