    to store content in a floppy without creating file

    Wow that's some descriptive asking

    You want to access the floppy drive through the C drive? what do you mean?

    and how would you want to store things on a floppy without making a file? like writing to the boot sector or something?

    edit:wow that's cool, now it seems you're replying to me? hehe something wrong with time at this board

    Through the C language I guess, not C: drive.

    Not possible in windows or unix, only DOS. You have to get the floppy disk interrupts / io ports and access the hardware directly. Note that this means any normal save operation will overwrite your data. The disk will appear empty or not formatted to any normal OS.

    There should be a link to Ralph Brown's interrupt list in the FAQ of the ASM forum. Take a look there.
