FASM - Boot sector on USB don't work -

-

in first, sorry bad english, i'm french. @ moment, learn asm fasm test boot sector programming.

i have make simple boot program, have compiled , write boot.bin in first sector of usb.

but when boot on pc or in virtualbox, drive isn't found....

boot sector code:

;======================================================================= ;   simpliest 1.44 bootable image shoorick ;) ;======================================================================= _bs equ 512 _st equ 18 _hd equ 2 _tr equ 80 ;=======================================================================     org 7c00h     jmp start     nop ;=====================================================     db  "he-he os";     ; 8     dw  _bs             ; b/s     db  1               ; s/c       dw  1               ; rs     db  2               ; fats     dw  224             ; rde     dw  2880            ;      db  0f0h            ; media     dw  9               ; s/fat     dw  _st             ; s/t     dw  _hd             ; h     dd  0               ; hs     dd  0               ; --     db  0               ; drv     db  0               ; --     db  29h             ; ebr     dd  0               ; sn     db  "no name    ";  ; 11     db  "fat12   ";     ; 8 ;===================================================== start:     mov   ax,cs     mov   ds,ax     mov   cx,count     mov   si,hello     mov   bx,7     mov   ah,0eh @@:     lodsb     int   10h     loop  @b     xor   ah,ah     int   16h     int   19h  hello   db "hi! disk-invalid!" count = $ - hello    ;=======================================================================     rb 7e00h-2-$     db 055h,0aah ;=======================================================================

this code provide examples of fasm's website.

there couple of reasons why bootloader wont work:

  1. the bootloader not in first sector of usb/floppy/etc.
  2. the bootloader not exactly 512 bytes long
  3. you missing 0xaa55 signature @ last 2 bytes of bootloader

in example assume have wrong bootloader size ( not 512 bytes )

try replacing 

rb 7e00h-2-$ db 055h,0aah

with

times 510-($-$$) db 0 dw 0xaa55

this ensures file 512 bytes long , has required bootloader signature

arrays - Algorithm to find ideal starting spot in a circle -

-
so problem have been debating such: your given array of integers representing circle. then, have pick spot in circle start. place start, compare value @ array number of steps took there , if steps less or equal number, include in final set. find place start have elements in set. ex, a=[0, 1, 2] if start @ index=0, then: a[0]=0 < =0 0 included a[1]=1 < =1 1 included a[2]=2 < =2 2 included final set: {0,1,2} if start @ index=1, then: a[1]=1 > 0 1 not included a[2]=2 > 1 2 not included here loop around a[0]=0 > 2 0 included final set: {0} if start @ index=2, then: a[2]=2 > 0 2 not included, here loop around a[0]=0 < = 1 0 included a[1]=1 < = 2 1 included final set: {0,1} so in trivial case, starting position index=0 best position results in final set elements. brute force method of finding obvious, trying find more efficient method. attempts far have been examine trying find max intersect of viable starting ranges calculated each element in arr...

problem? bootloader (autoloader) not seem working properly, or i'm missing something. here simplified code. the code below returns class "skeleton" not exist. on index.php file. index.php <?php include 'bootloader.php'; use skeleton\html\loginheader; $tool = new skeleton/html/loginheader(); bootloader.php <?php function boot($classname) { $filename = ''; $namespace = ''; // sets include path "src" directory $includepath = dirname(__file__).directory_separator.'src'; if (false !== ($lastnspos = strripos($classname, '\\'))) { $namespace = substr($classname, 0, $lastnspos); $classname = substr($classname, $lastnspos + 1); $filename = str_replace('\\', directory_separator, $namespace) . directory_separator; } $filename .= str_replace('_', directory_separator, $classname) .
