Anyone using Linux?
Hello - I have recently made the switch to Linux, Linux Mint 14 64-Bit to be specific. If there is anyone also using Linux that has a working development environment, please tell me what and how you have it set up.

Re: Some silly FAT32 question
Also, do you have any information regarding the way data is written or read on a FAT32 volume. I mean, FAT32 has no root directory, or rather, it is located in the data region of the disk. Does data get written to it the same way as in FAT12, except for the root directory being elsewhere. Does it fo...

Re: Some silly FAT32 question
Hi:
I went through the Microsoft FAT32 white paper and implemented support accordingly, but for some reason I have missed the BPB_RsvdSecCnt field. Now that I check I didn't even add it to my Bpb struct. How silly, but thank you very much for solving 2 problems at once.

Some silly FAT32 question
Hi all; Okay, so I am trying to support FAT32 on my OS, but I also want to keep the driver as compatable with the current setup (I know I wil have to change it as the OS grows). Which brings me to my point, for the FAT32 driver to work, I need to use the _MOUNT_INFO struct. It has a field fatOffset ...

Re: Calloc() and VBE... Need help.
Hi, thanks for your reply. I also thought that I should create a new memory manager or at least upgrade the current one, but I was also looking for an example of those routines posted previously, it's just, when I downloaded the JamesM's Kernel Development Tutorial files, the heap tutorial seemed so...

Re: Software to use for windows 7 64 bit OS
Hello: Sorry that I took so long but I have now resolved my Windows issues, and have resumed development. I have found that WinImage can be used to create bootable floppies. The only problem with WinImage is that you have to use the GUI, even though I haven't tried any other way. All you have to do ...

Re: Software to use for windows 7 64 bit OS
Hello: Altough I have Windows 7 64-bit, I am still using it out of the box, brand new, so I am not aware of any additional software installed that would enable the debug command, and yes it seems that debug.exe is not included in Windows 7 64-bit?! I am sorry for that mistake. Although I have found ...
