	mov dl,45
	call set_cursor
	mov si,msg1
	call print
	call wait_enter
prompt: 
	mov ah,00h
	mov al,10h
	int 10h
	mov ah,0Bh
	mov bh,00h
	mov bl,0Ah

1. Read the forum rules first. (Particularly the section on asking smart questions)
2. A period is not a space, nor should a period (or a space) be abused such.
3. You will find the answer on the wiki, I'd assume that you have not read it until sufficient evidence is provided to the contrary.
4. (I'm not sure that the rules say this, but) Code dumps are frowed upon, espectially if it's an entire file.

Before testing it on real hardware make sure it works by testing it in a testing environment like I tested it on virtualbox. Also like thepowersgang said please don't post your entire code. But since you did I edited the part I thought was wrong and found another part that is resulting in a green screen in the "start:" section. I changed the beginning to where instead of the jmp 07c0h I put "call start" and managed to get something up. Also you probably need to change where the welcome message like in "mainloop:" or start and have the message print where the current message is in the code. And here are some pictures of what I managed to get without dramatically changing the code. The first one is what happens on boot, the other one is when you push enter

Hi,

I found an online translator and set it to "stupid to English translation". Here's the result:

"Thanks feare56.

Please can you tell me how to test a .bin file in virtual box? Should I convert boot.bin to an iso file and then boot it from USB?"


Cheers,
