A simple bootstrap -----2004.11.1 (C) Gr1x To make a long story short, and enough material can be found about the PC's POST procedure, I'll just show my code and explain sth important steps, I think my source code is self-explaining enough 'cause it's short and easy to understand . I have tested it with a floppy disk, it's risky to test it with ur harddrive. If u did do it, I am not responsible for any damage u made : ) Environment :(Window Platform) a.VMWare(Optional).If u don't want to reboot ur system many times, u should get this. b: Nasm.(Essential). As u need it to compile ur code . u may use Ndisasm as well to disassemble the plain binary code compiled. c:Visual C++ 6 or Visual Stdio .Net. As we have to write a EXE to write the bootstrap to floppy. U may use WinHex to write bootstrap to floppy too instead of this writing a programme. 1>Write the bootstrap procedure ----------------------------bootstrap.asm------------------------------------------------- ;*************************************************** ; bootstrap.asm: 2004-11-1 (C) Gr1x ; Email:[email protected] ;**************************************************** [ORG 0] jmp 07C0h:start ; remember that BIOS loads this procedure in 0:7C00h, but don't count on registers like DS ;was initialized to 0. So we jump to it ourself. msg db 'Hello Gr1x!',0x0 start: ; Update the segment registers mov ax, cs mov ds, ax mov es, ax mov si, msg ; Print msg print: lodsb ; loads charater at 0x7C0h:msg mov ah, 0eh ; int 10h cmp al, 0 ; jne print ; jmp $ times 510-($-$$) db 0 dw 0000h ;or dw 0AA55h, u can write anything here , it seems that BIOS doesn't check this 2 bytes when ; it try to boot from a floppy disk ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OK , now compile it: >nasm bootstrap.asm -o bootstrap.bin 2.Now , copy this bootstrap to floppy's boot sector. If u do it with WinHex , u can omit following. I wrote a program which do this action. ------------------------------write_fd.cpp---------------------------------------------- //********************************************* // BootStrap.cpp: 2004-11-1 (C) Gr1x // Email:[email protected] //*********************************************** #include <windows.h> #include <winioctl.h> #include <stdio.h> #pragma comment(linker,"/subsystem:console" ) int main(int argc, char **argv) { HANDLE hDevice=NULL,hFile=NULL; TCHAR szDevicename[64]; LPTSTR szBuff=NULL; DISK_GEOMETRY Geometry; BOOL bRet; DWORD bytes,breadwrite,count; if(argc!=2) { printf("Usage:%s filename\n",*argv); exit(0); } __try { hFile=CreateFile(argv[1],GENERIC_READ,FILE_SHARE_READ,NULL,OPEN_EXISTING,0,NULL); if (hDevice == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) { printf("Error in open file %s!\n",argv[1]); __leave; } wsprintf(szDevicename,"\\\\.\\a:"); //change \\\\.\\a for \\\\.\\PHYSICALDRIVE0 if u wanna write harddisk.Risky! hDevice = CreateFile( szDevicename, GENERIC_READ|GENERIC_WRITE, FILE_SHARE_READ|FILE_SHARE_WRITE, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, 0, NULL );
