Project 7 -- Summer 2000

Due: 20 Jul 2000

Extra Credit

Write a program that will read and display the boot sector of the the floppy drive. The boot sector is sector 0. Each sector has 512 bytes that you must display. You will have to review the INT 21h material that is on the CMSC211 web page and change the default drive to drive A. Then read the first sector (sector 0) Display the contains in the following form (all data is fictious):
0000: CD 7F 00 00   47 9B AA FF    33 27 BD 11   44 3F 20 10
0010: 00 00 00 00   00 00 00 00    00 00 00 00   00 00 00 00
  
The first four digits are the offset into the sector and then there are 16 bytes displayed in a manner that makes them easy to read. All values are in hexidecimal.
