It looks like you are on your way. Look at all the INT 10h functions from BIOS.

Now I need to burn it into a CD and have it bootable, like burning a Windows OS to CD.

Can someone help me do it? I need to burn this into a CD. After burning into the CD it would boot up the program when click by the user.

Look for MagicISO, you can emulate a floppy with this code.

I could, but then you will only learn how to do one thing. You need to read up on boot loaders for x86 platform, then try to implement what you've read/learned via MagicISO. There is specific terminology you have to assimilate before you learn what you are about to do. Copying one's procedure only shows you the procedure. Learning the aspects of things such that you can cognitively adjust to what is there and apply it, now that's entirely different and why you're in school. Smile

This is going to take some effort on your part.

I have led you to water, now drink! Smile

lol your code is a messssss

ok. you can use freedos what autorun your mess as .com file install it and boot via grub
http://www.agent31.eu/2008/12/booting-freedos-with-grub.html

or you can only install freedos image to you cd with the cool os on it Cool

or you can install with out dos then you have to create you own bootloader with you hands

simply

(revolution's edits suck!!!)

Sigh, thanks for the replies anyways.

I did tried looking over in the internet in every way possible but not lucky enough. How come other posts can actually get a good replies with code's working for them. I envy those lucky people.

I'm giving up and just shift course. I will just fail my in class anyway. GOod bye programming. I'll forget IT field and figure out what my real forte is I guess.

I didn't give up yet.

I finally managed to create an ISO file from my code: mkisofs -R -b floppy.img -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -o bootable.iso cdcontents.

However when I tried it in virtual box select storage then add an IDE controller then add the boot.iso it was not successful booted.

It's showing this error:
fatal: could not read from the boot medium! system halted.

Do I need to change a code in my FASM? Or is img file that I converted into an ISO file should work when run in VirtualBOX?

Please I'm so close any ideas? smiddy? badc0de02?

first of all; homework doesn't exist to be a challenge. it exists to be an exercise. your problem isn't focused on anything specific so it's difficult for anyone to help without understanding what your instructor was trying to teach you. thats why I don't help with homework.

second; VirtualBox requires the boot signature at the end of the entire image when dealing with a floppy image (this isn't true about actual hardware or VMware) so maybe it's that.

Thanks for your reply, and the scolding part. Smile

, I'm sure my professor doesn't know how to do it himself. He just know how to throw problems to his students do this do that. In the end he'll not even show his coding himself. He just read his agenda for the day and no learning at all.

I understand but can you at least give a guide or tips on how to do it? Or point out what I'm doing wrong?

Wohooo thank you for the hint. I finally made it work in Virtual Box.

I hope it will work after I burn it into a CD.

I thought I finally made it Sad

. I was wrong I forgot to remove the floppy controller that has the floppy.img which made it boot and show the interface.
sigh.. its frustrating.

Anyone? my code works if I attached it in a floppy controller in Virtualbox but it won't work if attached into IDE controller for CD.

Anyone? Who can make my code run when burned into a CD? Or is it even possible? I think im doing the impossible.

FYI: the code is typcally different between boot devices. the Floppy has effectively the same interface (to the BIOS) as the Floppy (CHS) so they're very similar. I don't boot from CD so I can't speak to it. that said, I'm pretty sure anything but floppy emulation will require a rewrite of the code.

- Stefan

BTW: you really should use loops in your code ("Resize Cursor", for one, belongs in a loop).

this is one type of loop:

Code:

struc string text
{
    local end
   .:
    db end-$
    db text
    end=$
}

xor ax, ax
mov ds, ax
mov si, str
lodsb
movzx cx, al

@@:
mov ah,0eh
lodsb
push cx si ds
int 10h
pop ds si cx
loop @b

; .
; . code here. which ends before the data.
; . 

str string "text here"

If you are using no emulation, the boot sector (2048 bytes, not 512) is usually loaded at 1000:0000, not 7c0:0000.
