    Theres multiple places you need to write to on the HDD, in order to boot properly. I've forgotten the actual addresses, but I'm sure I can dig them up from my backups. Gimme a sec.

    Nope, couldn't find them. Google is your friend though. Try searching there.

    Most of my stuff is floppy only.

    Have you succesfully to start from floppy?
    I have wrote some program which will show "Test Program" into sector 1 of floppy but when i try to restart and insert my floppy into my computer it isn't

    Can you show me a sample code to read byte from floppy.
    I have tried some code but it doesn't works.

    I haven't got anything using ASM. All I wrote for the Floppy, was the actual boot. The rest was in C. I don't think I have it in my backups. Look at some Open Source Operating Systems, such as ReactOS, TinyOS, etc.
