Go to osdev and there is tutorials on ata there but, if you want the specifacations then go to t13
Oh, and by the way look at the mkiso cmd it can be VERY useful for booting from a cd

Never mind I got the keyboard handler to work in C.

To boot on a cd/dvd/usb you don't necessarily have to make a separate bootloader for it, you can use the mkisofs command. For building your os I'd recommend looking at the MikeOS operating system builder files. For a hard drive you should be able to study other people's code for that but don't copy ...

Hello, I'm building an operating system from scratch on Linux. So far I've made a bootloader, gone into 32 bit mode, made c libraries (but I'm still making an nasm based kernel), setup software and hardware interrupts, made a standard library, made a simple keyboard driver, and more. My question is ...

Thanks,

The problem was that when I compiled them I copied the build file from the INC file on my shell script.

I've double checked them and it still won't include I've tried %ifndef __GDT_INC_67343546FDCC56AAB872_INCLUDED__ %define __GDT_INC_67343546FDCC56AAB872_INCLUDED__ ;code %endif and %ifndef __GDT_MAC %define __GDT_MAC ;code %endif also the file name was GDT.inc and I also tried GDT.mac and when I incl...

Hello I've finished the first stage bootloader and working in the second stage but the second stage compile because it can't include the files and if I put all the code in one file it messes up the gdt. Do the inc files have to be compiled? Why can't I include the files?

This is the .sh build file I use but when I type sudo bash ./MyOS/build.sh It says Compiling Files... Copying bootloader to floppy... 1+0 records in 1+0 records out Copying Kernel and files to floppy... cp: cannot create regular file `tmp-loop/KRNLDR.SYS': No space left on device Unmounting loopback...

So it would look like this right?

dd if=Stage1.bin bs512 count=2880 of OS.img

losetup /dev/loop0 OS.img

mkdosfs /dev/loop0

mount -t msdos /dev/loop0 /mnt/MyOS

cp OS.img Stage1.bin

Thanks you. Now I understand.

Thanks but how do you put stage2 on it. I've tried to use loopback but it won't work

Hi my name is Jackson and I'm a following the tuturial series and building a bootloader. I'm using Linux Mint 10 for all of the compiling and coding. I'm wondering how to put both of them on a floppy. I like linux and mac but not windows. It would be great if somebody could explain.

Hello I'm Jackson and I have a few questions about tut 6. First is, Convert CHS to LBA. the formula is: LBA = (cluster - 2) * sectors per cluster ClusterLBA: sub ax, 0x0002 ;ax = cluster. xor cx, cx ;clear cx mov cl, BYTE [bpbSectorsPerCluster] ;cl = the current byte of sectors per cluster mul cx ;W...
