                  Maybe you misunderstand what FAT12 is meant to imply? Your code appears to be just a normal boot loader, I can't see anywhere where you define a file system of any type.

                  i just got it working, it is bare bones, and i wasted a CD disk testing it, finally got it working says welcome to sector 1, i will be adding filenames to it in future versions, and i don't know if it will load 0x7D sectors using Seek, yet i bet $5.00 it will, it is very important for these reasons:
 
                  
                1) It is an entire floppy disk image 2) You don't need a Floppy Drive to use it 3) You can attach any kernel to it 4) You can make a disk image compiler 5) It's a boot sector to have access to an entire floppy image and all it's sectors 6) It is very tiny, to add ROOT and FAT tables I made it because i don't have a floppy drive, and i needed it to get my OS .ISO working, so don't complain, this is not a normal boot loaded, it has great potential for future testing, and is the only example of it's kind i ever known or could get, where one .ASM file is a whole floppy image, to add 64k chunks of code too.  |

                  Cease to play with toys. Write good FAT or CDFS boot loader.

                  WTF? FAT13? I wasn't aware there was a FAT13.

                  Now you can write a whole floppy disk image in one .ASM file, i am adjusting the header so all the Files on the disk are a single set size, and the first 64K of the image is the ROOT and FAT and will have all the filename's, and i am going to make an injection tool, so any beginner can make an OS, perhaps the first 64K can load a TSR, for all file I/O, i am going to be working on FAT13 a lot in the next few days, and designing the first 64K of the image, and the second 64k is called Alpha9.

                  We could write floppy disk image before as well. I was working on mkfloppy.inc/mkisofs.inc/mkfat12.inc/mkfat16.inc/mkfat32.inc. On our national forum other sources were published (look here for floppy.inc, iso9660.inc). And for info, fasm supports following padding techniques:     
                  
                Code: times 2*80*18*512-$ db 0 Code: db 2*80*18*512-$ dup 0 What was your reason to invent new FS? What advantages will it have over existing FSes?  |
