I am creating a BootLoader that boots from a CD and I am having trouble discovering how to find the start of the root Directory on the Disk here is my boot code:
Code:
BITS   16

ORG  0x00

Start: jmp main


;Colors for text
%DEFINE TEAL 0x03
%DEFINE RED 0x04
%DEFINE PURPLE 0x05
COL: db 0
ROW:  db 0

;macro for print
%macro Print 2
pusha
    xor ax, ax
    xor dx, dx
    mov dh, BYTE[ROW];puts the row into the dh register
    mov dl, BYTE[COL]
    xor bx, bx
    mov bl, %2
    mov si, %1
    call cPrint
    mov BYTE[COL], dl
 ;saves the rows for the next time we need to print
popa
%endmacro

Print_ln:

pusha   
    mov dh, BYTE[ROW]          
    mov ah, 0x02            ;set cursor pos
    mov bh, 0x00            ;page 00
    inc dh                  ;row 00
    mov dl, 0x00            ;col. 00    
    int 0x10
    mov BYTE[ROW], dh
    mov BYTE[COL], 0
    popa


ret

cPrint:                   ; Routine: output string in SI to screen


 .top:
    ;Paramaters for Input 
    mov ah, 09h             ; Must be 9 to print color
    mov cx, 0x01            ;x position
    lodsb                   ; Get character from string
    test al, al
    je .done                ; If char is zero, end of string
    int 0x10                 ; Otherwise, print it

    mov ah, 0x02            ;set cursor position
    mov bh, 0x00            ;page
    inc dl      ;column
    int 0x10                ;changes the cursor position so the next char can be written at the new location
    jmp .top

I saw some code that did something like this to find the Volume descriptor I have a feeling you need that to find the root directory but I can't put my finger on it here is the code that does that:
Code:
get_next_desc: 
        ;/* Read the sector in memory at 0000:1000. */
        mov     [desc_sector],eax
        mov     bx,01000h
        mov     cx,1
        call    read_sectors

        ;/* Check for the signature "\2CD001" at the beginning of the descriptor. */
        mov     si, cd_signature
        mov     di,01000h
        mov     cx,6
        cmpsb
        je      found_desc

        ;/* Check if we have looked in all the descriptors of volume. */
        cmp     byte [es:0x1000],0FFh
        jne     next_desc

        ;/* We looked in all sessions of the disk, and the OS image wasn't found.
        ;   We display an error message on the screen and then prompts the user to
         ;  press a key to restart the computer. */
        mov     si, msg_file_not_found
        call    print_string
        jmp     reboot

next_desc:
    

Here is what I use to assemble my code:
Code:
nasm ZerothStage.asm -o ZerothStage.bin

mkisofs -b ZerothStage.bin -no-emul-boot -o BootLoader.iso ./

Nevermind I got it apparently I needed to load the segment offset address from the DAP into ES:DI and look for the Volume descriptor there
here is what i used to solve it if anyone is interested.
Code:
        mov es, WORD[DiskAddressPacket.Segment]
        mov di, WORD[DiskAddressPacket.Offset]
        
        xor bx, bx
        .top
                mov al, BYTE[ES:DI+BX]
                cmp al, ' '
                je .Done
                mov ah, 0xE
                int 0x010
                inc bx
        jmp .top
        
        .Done:

Well From what I gather FASM is not all that different from NASM at least not like GAS. And I have seen your code and It has helped me figure out a lot of things. But I am still confused with the volume descriptor and Have a lot of Questions. First How am I supposed to find the root directory how would I go about finding it and then sifting through it to find the next file to load the OS or to do a second stage bootloader? I have been looking everywhere for answers but the NASM forum can only help me so much and I am just starting out with OS DEV.
here is my full code just in case people need to build it:
Code:
BITS   16

ORG  0x00

Start: jmp main


;Colors for text
%DEFINE TEAL 0x03
%DEFINE RED 0x04
%DEFINE PURPLE 0x05
COL: db 0
ROW:  db 0

;macro for print
%macro Print 2
pusha
        xor ax, ax
        xor dx, dx
        mov dh, BYTE[ROW];puts the row into the dh register
        mov dl, BYTE[COL]
        xor bx, bx
        mov bl, %2
        mov si, %1
        call cPrint
        mov BYTE[COL], dl
 ;saves the rows for the next time we need to print
popa
%endmacro

Print_ln:

pusha   
        mov dh, BYTE[ROW]          
    mov ah, 0x02            ;set cursor pos

Wow I think I just figured it out thanks for posting your'e code I am still in working on it but I think I am really close Smile
here is my new code:
Code:

ORG  0x00

Start: jmp main


;Colors for text
%DEFINE TEAL 0x03
%DEFINE RED 0x04
%DEFINE PURPLE 0x05

Ok I found out that mkisofs copies the whole directory to the disk so Now all I have to do is find the File but that's proving to be a bit of a pickle when my current bootloader code runs it finds the file well I print out the name of the possible file and then if it isnt the correct one move on but It prints the file I want to jump to but the problem is it moves on it doesen't think it is the file any ideas on how to fix that?

Check the specifics of the filenames themselves, if you are not considering UPPER CASE or lower case, or a combination there of, you will not get a string comparison correctly and move on. I don't use mkisofs, but I suspect it is saving your file names to another standard, ISO 9660 (and El Torrito) are very specific about the letter case, on the disc, but there are other implementations, and those implementations need to also be considered, and I suspect that may be your problem, don't know.

I create an ISO from FASM code, at the specifications of ISO 9660, with El Torrito to boot my OS.

Yep, I cannot make heads or tails of your code, I don't know NASM's conventions. I cannot help there.

Ok I figured out why it wasn't working correctly turns out I need to clear the screen and move onto the next page to actually see the Success Print. I also figured out how to jump to the file which I did or it looks like I did but it's not executing the code at the Adress any Idea as to why?
